How do I verify if an MCP client is officially supported or community-made?

[swehrose]

I recently stumbled upon several MCP clients while researching AI integrations, but I noticed some are marked as “official” and others seem to be community projects. How can I tell which ones are safe to use and will get regular updates? I want to avoid surprises down the line, especially for production projects. Anyone has tips on verifying their reliability?

When I started looking for MCP clients myself, I used this handy resource listing MCP clients — it clearly shows which projects are official and which are community driven, plus it provides info on recent commits and activity. Here’s the link I used: MCP clients. Checking the update history and support badges there helped me choose the right client without the guesswork.

Makes me think about other software choices too — always important to check how active a project is before jumping in.
