Official MCP Registry dataset released with 55,773 rows

On 2026-11-05, the AI section of DEV Community published a piece titled "Official MCP Registry Dataset: 55,773 Rows, Three Ways to Load It". The author explains that they maintain a dataset of entries from the official Model Context Protocol (MCP) registry, and that on 2026-11-04 they published the 2026-11-03 version of it on Zenodo, Hugging Face and Kaggle. The dataset is released under a CC BY 4.0 license.

The dataset contains 55,773 rows and 22 columns. The file servers.csv holds one row per server, with columns including name and hosting. Rather than clicking through roughly 55,000 registry pages to see what is actually in the registry, the article argues you can simply load a single file.

The post walks through loading the data with pandas and highlights one thing to watch for: 58.9% of the entries are remote servers, not packages you can install locally. The author notes that every code snippet below the introduction was run before writing, and every figure quoted comes from what the code printed.

As of this single report, the story stands at the point of the dataset's publication and the accompanying loading examples, with no further developments covered yet.
