What is the best MCP servers and plugin for application development?

By tashan's measured score: React Native AI DevTools, Ios Simulator, Unicli, Growthbook · growthbook, Asc · pofky. the score combines upkeep and freshness, gated by real adoption — every input is public and linked to its source.

How is the ranking calculated?

From public signal only: npm download volume and publish cadence, GitHub push/release recency, contributor count, registry status, and how often a capability appears in real public agent configs. Nobody can pay to change a score, rank, or listing.

Application development

Q: Who does application development as part of their job?

This is a process step performed by Astronomers, Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers, Bioinformatics Scientists, Bioinformatics Technicians, Electro-Mechanical and Mechatronics Technologists and Technicians, Geneticists, Geographers, Information Security Engineers and others, per the O*NET 30.3 occupational database.

'Building it' — the implementation itself, as opposed to designing or reviewing it. tashan measures 282 capabilities for this work. Ranked on upkeep, freshness and real adoption, every input public. How we measure ›
