The MCP Registry is Here To List Your Servers

A few days ago, the maintainers of the Model Context Protocol announced that they had released the MCP Registry. This is an exciting development in the world of MCP for a few reasons:

  • It creates a standard way to distribute servers
  • It's open-source
  • Most excitingly, it allows the creation of sub-registries

The registry's main goal is have a centralized resource of all available MCP servers. And this isn't just a website that you can go to and browse, but it includes the infrastructure to allow MCP clients to connect to it or any sub-registry to discover and connect to servers.

Following the mold of MCP, it's open-source, allowing for community-driven moderation and a simple Git-driven way to add new servers to the registry. Even more important is that this allows new and existing third-party registries to integrate the canonical data and provide new, curated views based on custom metadata like user ratings and download counts.

My favorite possibility with the MCP Registry though is the creation of sub-registries. This would empower organizations to vet the servers they want to use, build their own subregistries of those vetted servers, and allow their clients to fetch server data from this vetted sub-registry.

Will you be exploring the MCP Registry for your clients or your servers? Which features are you excited about?
