How it's different
Remote MCP endpoint ingested from the official registry and probed by FastDrop.
Ingested from the official MCP Registry
FastDrop pulled this entry from the official MCP Registry as directory.tangent/tangent and probed the endpoint. The maker did not submit it, so the outbound link is not endorsed
and the description is not theirs.
If this is your server, claim the listing to edit it and take ownership. The registry index lists everything else still awaiting a probe.
