Question 1

How are DReview's MCP server categories decided?

Accepted Answer

Categories map to the kind of system an MCP server connects an agent to — a database, a communication platform, a payments processor — rather than the underlying protocol, since every listing already speaks MCP. New categories get added once enough real, distinct tools exist to justify one.

Question 2

What if a tool fits more than one category?

Accepted Answer

Each listing is assigned to the single category that best describes its primary function, based on what the server's tools actually do — not every platform it happens to touch. This keeps categories genuinely browsable instead of every tool appearing everywhere.

Question 3

Can I request a new category?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if you're submitting a tool that doesn't fit any existing category well, mention it in your submission. New categories are added when there's real demand, not speculatively.
