Common questions
Is mcpship: check and publish MCP servers 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?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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 (0.1.0) reached the registry 31 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

mcpship
Check a remote MCP server against the Claude connector directory rules, then publish it: npm, the official MCP Registry, a Claude Code plugin repo and the Claude connector directory. One step at a time, for people and for agents.
Quick start
npx mcpship init https://example.com/mcp # writes publish.json; fill in the fields MCPSHIP_TOKEN= npx mcpship check npx mcpship next # the next step, with the exact command
Commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
init | Writes a publish.json template in the current folder |
check [url] | Tests sign-in discovery, tools and listing; exit code 1 if a rule fails |
packet | Writes docs/directory/submission.md: the text for each directory form step |
next | The first unfinished step, with the command or click |
status | Live state of npm, the MCP Registry, the plugin repo and the directory |
done directory | Records that you submitted the directory form |
mcp | Runs as a local MCP server over stdio |
Add --json for machine-readable output and --dir to point at another folder.
npm counts as published only when you are a maintainer of the package. mcpship asks npm whoami; if you publish with a token instead of npm login, set channels.npm.maintainer to your npm user name in publish.json.
What check tests
| Rule | Fails when |
|---|---|
| auth.https | the server URL is not https |
| auth.www-authenticate | an unauthenticated call does not return 401 with resource_metadata |
| auth.resource-metadata | protected resource metadata is missing or has no authorization server |
| auth.as-metadata | authorization server metadata is missing |
| auth.pkce | S256 is not supported |
| auth.client-registration | neither Dynamic Client Registration nor Client ID Metadata Documents |
| tools.reachable | tools/list fails with the given token (skipped without one) |
| tools.title | a tool has no title |
| tools.annotations | a tool has neither readOnlyHint nor destructiveHint |
| tools.instructions | a description tells the model what to do ("use it first", "you must", "call X") |
| tools.hidden-text | a description holds invisible characters or encoded text |
| listing.icon-url | the icon URL is not a public https PNG |
| listing.pages | docs, privacy or terms page does not load |
| listing.lengths | name, one-liner or description is over the form limit, or a field is empty |
| listing.unpublished-mention | a page tells users to run npx before it is on npm |
Warnings: tools.mentions (a description names another tool) and listing.em-dash.
Use it from Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add emanueltns/mcpship /plugin install mcpship@mcpship
Then ask Claude to publish your MCP server. The plugin adds the mcpship tools and a skill that walks through each step.
Privacy
mcpship runs on your machine. It calls your server, the URLs in your publish.json, the MCP Registry API, and whatever npm and gh call. It sends no telemetry. MCPSHIP_TOKEN is read from the environment and never printed.
