MCP Directory Sweep - July 29, 2026 (Morning)¶
Summary¶
Sweep of mcpservers.org sitemaps (servers/1-6.xml + priority-servers.xml) and mcp.so SSR extraction. Firecrawl + web_search DOWN - used curl-based sitemap scraping (proven fallback pattern). Scanned 175 servers with lastmod=2026-07-29, cross-referenced against existing 229-entry catalog.
Result: 3 business-critical servers discovered (all absent from catalog), 4 secondary finds noted. 161 false positives (re-indexed existing pages with today's lastmod).
