Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

Its card, with similar plugins by marketplace

What each says it does

scientific-modernization

In its own words, on Community GitHub marketplaces:

Modernizes, ports, rewrites, packages, or replaces established scientific software in independently validated stages against an external scientific oracle, settling compatibility and upstream stewardship before calling it complete. Not for an isolated benchmark; use experiment-protocol. Not for diagnosing wrong results; use scientific-debugging.

Arm MCP Server

In its own words, on Official MCP Registry:

Official Arm MCP server for code migration, optimization, and Arm architecture guidance
