Selection, context, and ranking method
6 of 28 coding agents have a confirmed yes for “MCP server”. 16 are qualified or tier-scoped, 6 are confirmed no, and 0 remain not established. Only confirmed yes answers appear in this set; an unknown is never treated as a negative.
This is not an arbitrary slice of coding agents. Among the ones with a confirmed yes for “MCP server”, 5 of 6 also answer yes on pooled budget, against 2 of 22 across the rest of the category. Every figure is counted from the stored, sourced datasheet answers linked on each row.
Projected from the live listing datasheets using the tenant’s “Can another agent query it?” axis. Membership requires a sourced yes; partial and unknown answers are reported above but excluded from the ranking. Differences from the rest of the category are Fisher exact tests over 34 other datasheet axes, Holm-corrected. Entries retain the directory’s paid-tier ordering, visibly labelled on every promoted card.
