Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet

Which app do you use?

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

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

Open Settings → Connectors
Press Add custom connector
Paste the address below and press Add
If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

https://registry.run.mcp.com.ai/mcp

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http registry https://registry.run.mcp.com.ai/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "registry": {
      "url": "https://registry.run.mcp.com.ai/mcp"

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": {
    "registry": {

    }
  }
}

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.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
Paste the address below, give it a name and save
If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

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

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

Common questions

Is MCP Registry Server safe?

It passed 0 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 10 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Development Status

2025-10-24 update: The Registry API has entered an API freeze (v0.1) 🎉. For the next month or more, the API will remain stable with no breaking changes, allowing integrators to confidently implement support. This freeze applies to v0.1 while development continues on v0. We'll use this period to validate the API in real-world integrations and gather feedback to shape v1 for general availability. Thank you to everyone for your contributions and patience—your involvement has been key to getting us here!

2025-09-08 update: The registry has launched in preview 🎉 (announcement blog post). While the system is now more stable, this is still a preview release and breaking changes or data resets may occur. A general availability (GA) release will follow later. We'd love your feedback in GitHub discussions or in the #registry-dev Discord (joining details here).

We use multiple channels for collaboration - see modelcontextprotocol.io/community/communication.

Often (but not always) ideas flow through this pipeline:

[Discord](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/community/communication) - Real-time community discussions
[Discussions](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/discussions) - Propose and discuss product/technical requirements
[Issues](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/issues) - Track well-scoped technical work
[Pull Requests](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/pulls) - Contribute work towards issues

Quick start:

Pre-requisites

Docker
Go - version per the go directive in go.mod; the Go toolchain fetches it for you
ko - Container image builder for Go (installation instructions)
golangci-lint - version per the golangci-lint-action pin in ci.yml, so local lint matches CI

Running the server

# Start full development environment

make dev-compose

This starts the registry at localhost:8080 with PostgreSQL. The database uses ephemeral storage and is reset each time you restart the containers, ensuring a clean state for development and testing.

Note: The registry uses ko to build container images. The make dev-compose command automatically builds the registry image with ko and loads it into your local Docker daemon before starting the services.

By default, the registry seeds from the production API with a filtered subset of servers (to keep startup fast). This ensures your local environment mirrors production behavior and all seed data passes validation. For offline development you can seed from a file without validation with MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM=data/seed.json MCP_REGISTRY_ENABLE_REGISTRY_VALIDATION=false make dev-compose.

The setup can be configured with environment variables in docker-compose.yml - see .env.example for a reference.

Alternative: Running a pre-built Docker image

Pre-built Docker images are automatically published to GitHub Container Registry. Note that the image does not bundle PostgreSQL, so you need to run your own and point the registry at it via MCP_REGISTRY_DATABASE_URL (see docker-compose.yml for a working example):

# Run latest stable release

docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/modelcontextprotocol/registry:latest

Run latest from main branch (continuous deployment)

docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/modelcontextprotocol/registry:main

Run specific release version

docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/modelcontextprotocol/registry:v1.0.0

Run development build from main branch

docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/modelcontextprotocol/registry:main-20250906-abc123d

Available tags:

Releases: latest, v1.0.0, v1.1.0, etc.
Continuous: main (latest main branch build)
Development: main- - (specific commit builds)

Publishing a server

Publishing an MCP server does not happen through a pull request to this repository. Adding a server.json, a server directory, or an entry in data/seed.json will not publish or list your server, even if the PR is merged. Use the mcp-publisher CLI from your server's own project instead.

To publish a server, we've built a simple CLI. You can use it with:

# Build the latest CLI

make publisher

Use it!

./bin/mcp-publisher --help

See the publisher guide for more details.

Other commands

# Run lint, schema validation, and all tests

Note: this also runs `make dev-down`, stopping any running dev-compose environment

make check

There are also a few more helpful commands for development. Run make help to learn more, or look in Makefile.

Authentication

Publishing supports multiple authentication methods:

GitHub OAuth - For publishing by logging into GitHub
GitHub OIDC - For publishing from GitHub Actions
DNS verification - For proving ownership of a domain and its subdomains
HTTP verification - For proving ownership of a domain

The registry validates namespace ownership when publishing. E.g. to publish...:

io.github.domdomegg/my-cool-mcp you must login to GitHub as domdomegg, or be in a GitHub Action on domdomegg's repos
me.adamjones/my-cool-mcp you must prove ownership of adamjones.me via DNS or HTTP challenge
