## What this does
Fixes an open redirect plus a handful of small, mostly-invisible
hardening changes around it.
## What's in it
- **The fix**: trailing-slash redirects no longer let `//evil.com/`
redirect off-host.
- **SSRF block** on the DNS/HTTP namespace verification — refuses to
dial loopback, RFC1918, link-local, multicast, CGNAT, or
IP-literal/single-label \"domains\".
- **Slow-client guard**: `ReadTimeout` and `IdleTimeout` on the HTTP
server (no `WriteTimeout` — would risk cutting off legitimate
multi-package publishes).
- **Defence-in-depth headers** on the UI (`/`) and 404 responses.
- **5xx responses** stop leaking raw DB error text to clients (logged
server-side instead).
- **Search filter** stops treating `%` and `_` as wildcards.
- **Validators**: PyPI/NuGet identifiers URL-escaped before fetching;
MCPB no longer follows redirects.
- **Misc**: `Version` field bounded to 255 chars; logs quote user input;
`BlockedNamespaces` denylist now catches subdomain claimants.
Each change is its own commit so they can be reviewed (or reverted)
independently.
## Test plan
- [ ] CI green
- [ ] Synthetic publish in staging for each package type (npm, pypi,
nuget, oci, mcpb) — confirms validator changes don't regress
- [ ] Quick browser check of `/` after deploy to confirm UI still loads
with the new CSP
- [ ] `curl https://<host>//evil.com/` — confirm the open redirect is
closed

(Updated auto-generated PR description from @tadasant / Claude on Feb

## Motivation and Context
Fixes#637
Server lifecycle management (deprecation and yanking) is a standard
requirement for package registries. Use cases like rebranding, security
vulnerabilities, and end-of-life servers demand the ability to mark
servers as deprecated or deleted, with optional messaging to guide
consumers toward alternatives.
## Changes
### New API endpoints
- **`PATCH /v0/servers/{serverName}/versions/{version}/status`** —
Update the lifecycle status of a single server version
- **`PATCH /v0/servers/{serverName}/status`** — Update the lifecycle
status of all versions of a server in a single transaction
Both endpoints accept:
```json
{
"status": "active|deprecated|deleted",
"statusMessage": "Optional message (max 500 chars) explaining the change"
}
```
### New CLI command
- **`mcp-publisher status <serverName> [version]`** — Update server
lifecycle status from the command line
- `--status` (required): `active`, `deprecated`, or `deleted`
- `--message`: Optional status message
- `--all-versions`: Apply to all versions of the server (replaces the
`<version>` argument)
### API response changes
`RegistryExtensions` now includes two new fields:
- `statusChangedAt` — Timestamp of the last status change
- `statusMessage` — Optional free-form message (e.g., deprecation
reason, migration guidance)
### List endpoint changes
- New `include_deleted` query parameter on `GET /v0/servers` — defaults
to `false`, hiding deleted servers from listings
- When `updated_since` is provided, `include_deleted` is automatically
set to `true` for incremental sync
### Database
- Migration `013_add_status_fields.sql`: Adds `status_changed_at` (NOT
NULL, initialized from `published_at`) and `status_message` columns to
the `servers` table
### Design decisions (from review discussion)
- **Dedicated status endpoints** rather than overloading the existing
edit endpoint
- **Bidirectional status transitions** — all transitions between
`active`, `deprecated`, and `deleted` are allowed
- **`statusMessage` as free-form text** — no structured `nextName` or
`alternativeUrl` fields (per maintainer feedback, to avoid complexity
around chaining, trust transfer, etc.)
- **Publish permission** grants status change access (not limited to
admin/edit)
- **Status message auto-cleared** when transitioning back to `active`
Good, now I have the full picture. Here's the addendum:
### Consumer-facing API changes
The new status fields live inside
`_meta["io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official"]` on every
`ServerResponse`. This is the existing `RegistryExtensions` object — two
new fields are added alongside the existing ones:
**Before:**
```json
{
"server": { "name": "com.example/my-server", "...": "..." },
"_meta": {
"io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official": {
"status": "active",
"publishedAt": "2025-06-01T00:00:00Z",
"updatedAt": "2025-06-15T00:00:00Z",
"isLatest": true
}
}
}
```
**After:**
```json
{
"server": { "name": "com.example/my-server", "...": "..." },
"_meta": {
"io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official": {
"status": "deprecated",
"statusChangedAt": "2026-02-01T12:00:00Z",
"statusMessage": "Deprecated in favor of com.example/my-server-v2",
"publishedAt": "2025-06-01T00:00:00Z",
"updatedAt": "2026-02-01T12:00:00Z",
"isLatest": true
}
}
}
```
| New field | Type | Present when |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `statusChangedAt` | `string` (RFC3339) | Always — initialized to
`publishedAt` for existing records |
| `statusMessage` | `string` (max 500 chars) | Only when set —
`null`/omitted for active servers (auto-cleared on transition to active)
|
These fields appear on **every endpoint that returns a
`ServerResponse`**: `GET /v0/servers`, `GET /v0/servers/{name}`, `GET
/v0/servers/{name}/versions/{version}`, and the new PATCH status
endpoints.
### List endpoint filtering
`GET /v0/servers` gains an `include_deleted` query parameter:
| Scenario | Behavior |
|----------|----------|
| No `include_deleted` param | Deleted servers hidden (default `false`)
|
| `include_deleted=true` | Deleted servers included in results |
| `updated_since` provided | `include_deleted` forced to `true` for
incremental sync |
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Unit tests for status handler (`status_test.go`) covering status
transitions, permission checks, validation errors, and the all-versions
endpoint
- Unit tests for the CLI command (`status_test.go`)
- Integration with existing server/edit handler tests
- Database layer tests for the new status update and query methods
- Tested locally with `make dev-compose`
## Types of changes
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
## Checklist
- [x] I have read the [MCP
Documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)
- [x] My code follows the repository's style guidelines
- [x] New and existing tests pass locally
- [x] I have added appropriate error handling
- [x] I have added or updated documentation as needed
## Open items from review
- [ ] `include_deleted` silent override: When `updated_since` is
provided and `include_deleted=false` is explicitly passed, should return
a 400 error rather than silently overriding
([thread](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/pull/893#discussion_r2100879360))
— agreed upon but may not yet be implemented
## Summary
- Applied `gofmt -s -w` across the entire codebase to ensure consistent
Go formatting
- This will trigger a deployment with minimal code changes
## Test plan
- [x] Pre-commit hooks pass
- [x] No functional changes, formatting only

<!-- Provide a brief summary of your changes -->
## Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
The following PR eliminates duplicate struct definitions by migrating
the publisher tool to use canonical types from pkg/model, creating a
single source of truth across the codebase. The publisher tool
previously had its own copies of structs that were duplicated, ie.
ServerJSON, Package, Repository, VersionDetail, EnvironmentVariable,
RuntimeArgument and a few others which was not optimal
**Changes in the PR:**
- Refactored the structs to single canonical types located at pkg/model
- Refactor the implementation to use/build canonical structures directly
- Remove all duplicate definitions (5 structs eliminated)
- Publisher now uses model.ServerJSON, model.Package, model.Repository,
etc.
- Renamed some of the structs to better reflect their use case, i.e.
ServerJSON instead of ServerDetail
- Fixes an issue where the Remote property was missing from the previous
publisher copy of the Server
**Benefits:**
- Single source of truth - Schema changes in one place
- Type safety - Compiler catches mismatches
- Enhanced validation - Field constraints and bson tags
- Zero breaking changes - Same CLI interface and JSON output
- Future-proof - New canonical fields automatically available

## Summary
Implements a denylist mechanism to prevent blocked namespaces from
publishing packages:
- Added `BlockedNamespaces` field to `JWTManager` struct for maintaining
the denylist
- Added validation logic in `GenerateTokenResponse` that checks user
permissions against blocked namespaces
- Admins with global permissions (`*`) bypass the blocking logic
- Added comprehensive test coverage for all blocking scenarios
Fixes#98
Adds support for auth'ing to the registry via [GitHub Actions
OIDC](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/security/openid-connect).
Fixes#271
## Motivation and Context
People will probably want to publish to the registry from CI
environments. DNS auth can work here fine
(https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/issues/270). But for
people who haven't set up DNS, the standard GitHub device flow won't
really work here. We could make this nice by supporting GitHub Actions
OIDC.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Tested locally with a real GitHub OIDC token from a personal repo.
## Breaking Changes
None

Fixes#264. Adds endpoints:
```
/v0/auth/github # exchange a github token for a registry token that gives you access to namespaces io.github.username and io.github.org for your orgs
/v0/auth/none # get a registry token for namespace io.modelcontextprotocol.anonymous (only for testing/local dev purposes)
```
Updates `/v0/publish` to accept one of these registry tokens.
## Motivation and Context
See #264
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Running locally and getting a token from `/v0/auth/none` and then
publishing to `/v0/publish`
- Updating the integration tests that get a token and then publish, and
them passing
## Breaking Changes
This is a breaking change to the auth API. This is fine for registry
given it's not deployed yet.
