How this list is ordered: a tool comes first when the use case appears in its name rather than only in its description, then when it offers a hosted endpoint, then when its source code is public, then by how recently our robot saw it in the Official MCP Registry. The match to knowledge Base QA comes from the publisher's description (keyword method), not from a test of the tool. Only active tools with a real description are listed. No tool pays to appear here.
