Method
- Source: the MCPfolio catalog release published 2026-11-11, 659 server listings. Figures update when a new catalog release is published.
- A server is counted once in every category it carries. Shares are the category count divided by all listings, so they do not sum to 100%.
- Categories are the ones shown on each MCPfolio listing, not labels chosen by the publisher.
