Add a CuratedMCP badge to your README
Two live SVG badges, both free: a listing badge that tells users your MCP server is in a risk-classified catalog, and an audit grade badge that shows the A–F result of the free shadow-MCP scan. Both render anywhere shields-style badges work — GitHub READMEs, GitLab, internal wikis — and update automatically, no re-embedding needed.
Listing badge — for server authors
If your server is listed in the CuratedMCP catalog, this badge links your README to your listing — where users see your server's risk profile, verified status, and one-command install for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and more. Replace your-server-slug with the slug from your marketplace URL.

Not listed yet? Submit your server — free listings, reviewed in under 48 hours.
Audit grade badge — for scanned machines
Running npx -y @curatedmcp/auditor grades a developer machine A–F against the risk-classified catalog and produces a shareable report. The report page has a one-click “Copy badge markdown” button, or build it yourself from the report slug:

Teams pin this in internal wikis or onboarding docs as a living “this machine/repo was last audited” marker. Reports are unlisted — only people with the link can open them.
How the badges work
- Served as plain SVG with public CORS headers — GitHub's image proxy (camo) caches and serves them without any account or token.
- Live, not static: if your listing's verified status or a report's grade changes, the badge updates within an hour (one-hour cache).
- No tracking parameters, no signup, no rate limits for normal README traffic.
Get your badge
Scan your machine for a grade badge, or list your server for a listing badge — both free.
