MCP readiness
Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here B, 80.8/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ
