DDench MCP (official, remote)

Vendor-hosted
What we probed (2026-11-07 UTC, no credentials): an MCP initialize POST to https://mcp.dench.com/mcp returned HTTP 401 with an OAuth challenge (WWW-Authenticate resource_metadata https://mcp.dench.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp); that metadata lists authorization server https://mcp.dench.com and resource https://mcp.dench.com/mcp. We did not sign in or use a Dench token, so no tools were listed or called. Vendor docs at dench.com/docs/mcp-server and the Nov 4, 2026 launch post state the endpoint and OAuth client setup. Server source is not public, so license scores 0. Score capped: vendor-hosted.
Claude Code 2.1.321 fixed MCP OAuth requests sending secrets such as refresh tokens to another host when a server redirected them. Claude Code changelog
Dench-hosted endpoint. Initialize returned HTTP 401 with a proper OAuth challenge; we did not sign in, so no tools were listed or called. The server source isn't public, so license scores 0. Listed as a hosted remote (Our review, Nov 6, 2026).

What we tested and what we didn't

Methodology: how we test (vendor-hosted rule). A high score means it responds and its vendor documents and dates it, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
