Why rank by tashan score instead of GitHub stars?
Stars measure visibility, not fitness. A server can be starred and abandoned. tashan's tashan score blends how actively a server is maintained and how fresh it is, gated by real adoption — and flags single-maintainer and archived risks. See the methodology.
