The Plug WeeklyHey there,
Socketlist's New this week page lists 224 scored servers that are new to the official MCP Registry. Here are five of the highest scorers, each from a different author, with what each one needs before you try it. Every number below comes from public data (the official MCP Registry, GitHub and npm) as of October 15, 2026.
The five picks
Automatic project memory for Claude Code. Also works with Cursor and Codex.
The evidence: 122 GitHub stars · 406 npm downloads last week · MIT licence · has a security policy · last push Oct 13, 2026 · repo created Sep 2026 · no hygiene flags. (Maintenance 40/40 · security hygiene 30/35 · adoption 17/25)
npm install -g jevmem && jevmem mcpBefore you install: It needs a TypeSafe API key, and its requests are billed to that key. It saves what it learns to a JEVMEM.md file in your repo, so read that file before you commit it. Saving is automatic in Claude Code; Cursor and Codex reach it over MCP.

Multi-account Google Workspace MCP server: 942 tools, 29 services, discover-first, BYO OAuth.
The evidence: 15 GitHub stars · 451 npm downloads last week · MIT licence · has a security policy · last push Oct 14, 2026 · repo created Apr 2026 · no hygiene flags. (Maintenance 40/40 · security hygiene 35/35 · adoption 13/25)
npx -y mcp-google-multiBefore you install: You create your own Google OAuth client first (GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET); the README walks you through it. Needs Node 22 or newer. Writes are off by default, which is the right starting point for a server with 942 tools.

MCP server for querying VirusTotal API with comprehensive security analysis tools.
The evidence: 151 GitHub stars · MIT licence · has a security policy · last push Oct 14, 2026 · repo created Dec 2024 · no hygiene flags. (Maintenance 40/40 · security hygiene 35/35 · adoption 11/25)
npx -y @burtthecoder/mcp-virustotalBefore you install: Needs your own VirusTotal API key (VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEY) and Node 20 or newer. The npm package is published as @burtthecoder/mcp-virustotal; its repository field points to this GitHub repo. The README says it is an independent project, not affiliated with VirusTotal.

Verified conversions across 205 color spaces: CSS strings, gamut checks, .cube LUTs.
The evidence: 389 GitHub stars · 939,373 npm downloads last week · CC0-1.0 licence · no security policy · last push Oct 14, 2026 · repo created Nov 2014. (Maintenance 40/40 · security hygiene 20/35 · adoption 23/25)
npx -y color-space mcpBefore you install: The MCP server is the mcp subcommand; plain npx color-space runs the converter instead. The weekly downloads count the whole colour library, which many other packages depend on, not MCP use. No keys or accounts needed. Socketlist flags it for having no SECURITY.md.

Hands bounded coding work to cheaper worker agents: verified answers, exact diffs, cost receipts.
The evidence: 24 GitHub stars · 725 npm downloads last week · MIT licence · has a security policy · last push Oct 8, 2026 · repo created Sep 2026 · no hygiene flags. (Maintenance 39/40 · security hygiene 30/35 · adoption 14/25)
npm i -g pitroom && pitroom mcpBefore you install: It hands reading, tests and small fixes to coding-agent CLIs you already have (OpenCode by default; Codex CLI, Claude Code, Gemini CLI and others also work), so those tools need to be installed and signed in. Needs Node 22.13 or newer. The repository was created on Sep 30, 2026, so try it on a throwaway branch first.
