 This tutorial will show you how to publish an MCP server written in TypeScript to the MCP Registry using the official `mcp-publisher` CLI tool.
 
+<Note>
+  If you are publishing a non-npm package (PyPI, NuGet, OCI, MCPB), the overall flow is identical, but the ownership-verification step in [Step 1](#step-1-add-verification-information-to-the-package) is different per package type. See [Package Types](./package-types) for the verification mechanism that applies to your package, then return here and follow the remaining steps.
