How is SpiderRating different from SpiderShield?
Last updated: · Based on 15,923 rated MCP servers
SpiderShield is the open-source scanner (MIT license) that runs locally; SpiderRating is the cloud platform that continuously scans the entire MCP ecosystem and publishes ratings. SpiderShield provides static analysis, runtime guards, DLP scanning, and audit logging — all free and self-hostable. SpiderRating adds the discovery pipeline, centralized rating engine, public leaderboards, Decision API, and enterprise dashboards on top. You can use SpiderShield standalone without ever touching the cloud platform.
