Review guidelines
A review here is a note to the next person who has your problem. These are the rules that keep them worth reading.
Who can write one
Anyone with a GitHub account, about a server they have actually run. Sign-in asks GitHub for your public profile and nothing else: no repository access, and we never post anything as you.
One review per person per server. You can change yours whenever you like, and the change replaces the old one rather than adding a second voice.
What makes one useful
The reviews people actually act on have three things in them: what you were trying to do, what happened, and what you would tell a colleague considering it. “Pulled our Shopify orders into Claude every morning for three weeks, never missed a run, the auth flow took ten minutes” is worth more than five stars and the word “great”.
Concrete beats emphatic. Numbers, timings, the thing that broke at 2am, the tool whose description does not match what it does — all of it helps. So does saying how long you used it, because a first-hour impression and a three-month one are different reviews.
Being negative is fine. Being specific about why is what makes it fair.
What is not allowed
- Reviewing your own server, or one you were paid or asked to review.
- Links of any kind, including referral codes. Reviews with links are held for moderation and usually removed.
- Anything about a person rather than the software: no abuse, no accusations about a maintainer.
- Security findings dressed as a review. Report those through appeals so they can be verified and scanned for, which is worth more than a star rating.
- Anything you copied from somewhere else.
How moderation works
Most reviews publish the moment you post them. Two cases wait for a person to read them first: reviews from GitHub accounts younger than thirty days, and reviews containing a link. Held reviews do not count toward the rating while they wait, and you will see the status on your own review.
Reviews from accounts older than ninety days carry a verified mark. That is a statement about account age, not about the reviewer's judgement. Account age is shown on the profile so you can weigh it yourself.
We remove reviews that break the rules above. We do not remove reviews for being harsh, for being inconvenient, or because a vendor asked.
If it is your server
Claim the listing from its page. If your GitHub login owns the repository or the registry namespace, the claim is approved on the spot; otherwise it waits for a check. Claiming lets you keep the listing current and reply to reviews in public.
It does not let you delete a review, edit one, change your grade, hide a finding, or move up a ranking. If that is what you are looking for, this is the wrong directory. A factual error in a scan is a real thing and appeals exists for it — that route is open to anyone, claimed or not.
Editing and deleting
Your reviews live on your profile. Edit one and the rating recalculates immediately; delete one and it disappears from the average the same second. Nothing is kept as a “previous version” on the public page.
If you want everything you have written removed, delete each review from your profile, or ask and we will do it.
