Verified — the trust signal for MCP servers and AI skills

Verified is the MCP Skills trust signal. It is awarded algorithmically — the same bar applies to every repo, with no application and no pay-to-play.

What Verified means

What “Verified” means. A Verified repo currently clears the MCP Skills trust bar: composite score ≥ 7.0, every trust dimension above its floor (Solid ≥ 5.0), and no disqualifiers (archived, critical CVE, supply-chain risk). The exact same criteria apply to every repo. It is not a guarantee that no vulnerability exists — Verified is a live signal, re-checked daily, and can be revoked if a repo drifts below the bar.

– Composite score ≥ 7.0 / 10

– Every dimension above its floor (Solid ≥ 5.0)

– No disqualifiers (archived, critical CVE, supply-chain risk)

– At least 8 sufficient trust signals

– Same criteria for every repo — no application, no pay-to-play
