Our pick
Org-owned product repo, then verdict, then stars
rossshannon/things3-mcp · PyPI Things3-MCP-server
Pick this one because it is rated SAFE, grade B and it has the most stars (44).
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. None of these servers meets the first test, so the verdict and stars decided it. It is a ranking of what the records show, not an endorsement by a vendor.
