MCP Registry

The official registry for Model Context Protocol servers

About MCP Registry

The MCP Registry is the official public registry for Model Context Protocol servers. It provides a central, API-accessible catalog where publishers list MCP servers and clients can discover them, with production, staging, and local environments documented for implementers. As the canonical directory for the MCP ecosystem, it helps developers find verified server entries instead of relying on scattered lists. It suits agent builders, client developers, and server publishers working with the Model Context Protocol.
