Stop your AI agent from rebuilding what already exists. An opinionated MCP server that checks GitHub, npm and Python repos for maintained alternatives before you scaffold.

How MarketNow scored this
Sentinel Index Heuristics — a security-first estimate from public signals:
- Package age and release activity (stale repositories lose points)
- Verified adoption: registry downloads or GitHub stars, not follower counts
- Typosquat distance against the 150 most-installed MCP packages
- Injection markers scanned in the package description
Heuristic, not a guarantee. For verified agent credentials and revocation, see the MarketNow Trust API.
