Official registry entry io.github.synchronicity-labs/mcp-server (15). CI with verify, publish and review workflows (10). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 = 75. Registry presence read from Anchor Terminal's own daily import of the official MCP registry (/api/v1/registry.json, 6 November 2026), not the registry's API.)
- Reliability, sync. labs MCP server +28: Clueso 15 (No readable service incident history established (5).
