Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server for working with OASF agent records in the Agntcy Directory.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL, DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL, DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SERVER_ADDRESS, DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE, DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add dir --env OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL=your-value --env DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SERVER_ADDRESS=your-value --env DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE=your-value --env DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN=your-value -- docker run -i --rm -e OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL -e DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SERVER_ADDRESS -e DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE -e DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN ghcr.io/agntcy/dir-mcp:1.3.4

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dir": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-e",
        "OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL",
        "-e",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SERVER_ADDRESS",
        "-e",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE",
        "-e",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN",
        "ghcr.io/agntcy/dir-mcp:1.3.4"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL": "your-value",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SERVER_ADDRESS": "your-value",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE": "your-value",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "dir": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-e",
        "OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL",
        "-e",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SERVER_ADDRESS",
        "-e",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE",
        "-e",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN",
        "ghcr.io/agntcy/dir-mcp:1.3.4"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL": "your-value",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SERVER_ADDRESS": "your-value",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE": "your-value",
        "DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL required env
    OASF schema server URL (e.g. https://schema.oasf.outshift.com)
  • DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SERVER_ADDRESS env
    Directory server address (default: 0.0.0.0:8888)
  • DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE env
    Auth mode: none, github, x509, jwt, token
  • DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN secret env
    Pre-issued bearer token for CI/scripts (skips interactive login)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Dir MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL, DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.3.4) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker, MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MCP Server for Directory

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for working with OASF agent records in the AGNTCY Agent Directory.

The server runs via the dirctl CLI and connects AI assistants and IDEs to Directory infrastructure. Use it to validate and publish agent metadata, search and discover records, navigate OASF skill and domain taxonomies, and generate records from a codebase.

Capabilities:

  • Work with OASF schemas and validate agent records
  • Search, push, and pull records from Directory servers
  • Verify record signatures and domain name ownership
  • Import from and export to MCP, A2A, Agent Skills, and GitHub Copilot formats
  • Start an embedded local Directory daemon automatically when the configured server is local (disable with DIR_MCP_DAEMON=false)
  • Run guided workflows via MCP prompts (create, validate, search, and more)

See docs/directory-mcp.md for full documentation — tools, prompts, setup, configuration, and usage.
