Our pick
Org-owned product repo, then verdict, then stars
i-can-hack/pdf-mcp · PyPI pdf-mcp
Pick this one because it is published from the i-can-hack organisation account under the product's name and it is the only SAFE server of the 2.
The rule: a repository owned by an organisation account that carries the product's name comes first, then the better verdict, then the more stars. It is a ranking of what the records show, not an endorsement by a vendor.

How to tell them apart
Check the package
Install by the full package name (pdf-mcp on PyPI for our pick), not by searching “PDF”.
Check the org
Every card shows org/repo. Our page for each server links to the exact repository we read.
Check the verdict
A good name says nothing about the code. Open a BLOCK page to see what we found.
