The repo was manifest-only. That has now cost a listing and is blocking another:

  • Awesome-MCP-ZH rejected #517 (2026-08-30): no verifiable MCP server implementation (only a few config files)
  • Glama cannot score a repo with no code, and that score badge is what punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers (93k stars) requires before merging #12145

This is not padding to satisfy a checker — it is what someone evaluating a remote MCP server actually wants: proof it works, and the exact bytes on the wire.

  • src/client.js — ~50 lines of plain fetch, no SDK. Ports to any language, doubles as a spec. Handles the two things that trip hand-rolled MCP clients: Accept must list both application/json and text/event-stream, and a single response may arrive SSE-framed.
  • src/cli.js — runs the server end to end. Verified against production: handshake, 3 tools, search_gaps, get_top_gaps, validate_idea returning strong on 10 matches.
  • 9 tests via node:test, zero dependencies, offline by default. LIVE=1 npm test hits the real server. CI on every push.

The repo was manifest-only: server.json, README, LICENSE, glama.json.
That is a real problem, not a cosmetic one. Awesome-MCP-ZH rejected the
listing on 2026-08-30 with 'no verifiable MCP server implementation
(only a few config files)', and Glama cannot produce a quality score for
a repo with no code, which is what blocks the score badge that
punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers requires before merging.

This is not padding to satisfy a checker. It is the thing someone
evaluating a remote MCP server actually wants: proof it works, and the
exact bytes on the wire.

src/client.js is ~50 lines of plain fetch, no SDK, so it ports to any
language and doubles as a spec. It handles the two details that trip a
hand-rolled MCP client: Accept must list BOTH application/json and
text/event-stream (omitting the SSE type is the usual cause of a 406),
and a single response may come back SSE-framed.

src/cli.js runs the server end to end and prints real results. Verified
against production: handshake, 3 tools, search_gaps, get_top_gaps, and
validate_idea returning a strong verdict on 10 matches.

9 tests via node:test, no dependencies, offline by default; LIVE=1 also
hits the real server. CI runs them on every push.
