AAstro Docs MCP (official, remote)

Tested Astro's hosted docs MCP at https://mcp.docs.astro.build/mcp (server 'Astro Docs server' 1.0.0; source withastro/docs-mcp, 68 GitHub stars when checked). Initialize and tools/list worked with no account (1 tool). Real call: search_astro_docs for 'content collections schema' returned the matching Astro docs sections. Scored from the repo: it has no license file (GitHub detects none; our rubric gives 3 of 10 when no license is found) and its last push was 2025-10-25, more than a year before our test (maintenance 0). The hosted endpoint may be newer than the repo; we can't see that.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 1 of 1 read call passed anonymously. Evidence: live endpoint probe, Nov 11, 2026.

Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
