Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
That matters because GitHub MCP is much more useful when a developer can stand it up quickly with the credentials they already use, rather than hunting down and managing separate personal access tokens for every test.
