Best Writing MCP Servers

MCPpedia tracks 554 writing MCP servers. 103 of them score at least 50 out of 100, and 43 clear 70 — about 8% of what has been published in this space. The remaining 451 are thinner: registry entries with no description, no published tool schema, or no commit in the last year. They are all still listed here, because knowing a server exists and is unmaintained is worth as much as knowing a good one exists.

io.github.xberg-io/crawlberg leads the list at 92/100. MCP Server Youtube Transcript (92) and io.github.airbuzz/syncpen-mcp (90) follow. Every score is the same five weighted inputs: security (CVE scanning, tool-poisoning detection, and whether the server authenticates at all), maintenance (commit recency, release cadence, and download trend), documentation, client compatibility, and token efficiency — how much of your context window the tool definitions consume before you have asked anything.

1 of these servers are published by the vendor behind the underlying API rather than by a third party, which is usually the difference between an integration that tracks upstream changes and one that quietly stops working. 1 currently carry an open CVE; those are flagged on the server's own page with the advisory and its severity.
