Agentic web & MCP registries

mcpcensusbot

Crawler for The MCP Census, a service for checking MCP servers before install. When a search finds no census hit for a brand, it looks for an off-registry server with GET /.well-known/mcp.json, GET /.well-known/mcp-registry-auth and a DoH lookup for mcp.<domain>; GET only, results cached 7–30 days.
