## Motivation and Context
Currently there's a lot of unsafe manual JSON unmarshalling/marshalling,
and we have to manually keep the openapi schema in sync.
This PR migrates the API to
[Huma](https://github.com/danielgtaylor/huma), which appears like a
popular, well-maintained way to build APIs in Golang. I'm not a Golang
expert, but seemed highly recommended by Reddit + Claude and has a
decent star count. It provides automatic openapi spec generation and
docs hosting, JSON parsing, as well as the ability to add auth
middlewares etc.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Running locally, and poking at the endpoints
## Breaking Changes
Docs are served at `/docs` rather than `/v0/swagger/index.html` now

This PR simplifies the seed data import configuration based on
maintainer feedback by removing command line flags and using a clearer
environment variable name.
## Key Changes
### Configuration Simplification
- **Renamed**: `MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FILE_PATH` → `MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM`
- **Removed**: `--seed-file-path` command line flag to eliminate
configuration complexity
### Improved User Experience
Users now configure seed data import using a single, clear environment
variable:
```bash
# Before (multiple ways to configure)
MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FILE_PATH=data/seed.json ./registry
./registry --seed-file-path=data/seed.json
# After (simplified single method)
MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM=data/seed.json ./registry
```
### Registry Composability
The composability workflow is now simplified while maintaining all
functionality:
```bash
# Start first registry with seed data
MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM=data/seed.json ./registry
# Start second registry importing from first via pagination
MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM=http://localhost:8080 ./registry
```
## Technical Implementation
- Maintains full backward compatibility for import functionality
- All existing seed data sources continue to work (local files, HTTP
URLs, registry URLs)
- Automatic pagination through `/v0/servers` endpoint remains unchanged
- Configurable delays between requests preserved
## Benefits
- **Reduced complexity**: Single configuration method instead of
multiple
- **Clearer naming**: `SEED_FROM` better describes the source of seed
data
- **Easier maintenance**: Fewer configuration paths to test and document
- **Consistent patterns**: Aligns with other environment-variable-only
configuration
All existing functionality is preserved while providing a cleaner, more
maintainable configuration interface.

Adds a CI action to build docker images and publish them to GHCR on
every commit. We can then use these when deploying the registry.
This turned out to be an upstream blocker of building the infra for
deployment, and something like this is needed for either deployment
approach we're exploring.

## Summary
- Add comprehensive documentation for pre-built Docker images in README
- Include usage examples and configuration guidance
- Add GitHub Actions workflow for automated Docker image publishing

## Summary
This PR consolidates our documentation to reduce redundancy and
maintenance overhead:
- Removes the CLAUDE.md file with Import statement in favor of direct
README.md usage
- Merges CONTRIBUTING.md content into README.md's Contributing section
- Migrates useful architecture and developer information from the old
CLAUDE.md to README.md
- Eliminates duplicated information between files
## Benefits
- Single source of truth in README.md reduces documentation drift
- Easier maintenance with all docs in one place
- Claude Code remains fully functional while reducing complexity

## Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
The following PR:
* Adds a Makefile with the most common project-related commands
* Updates the CI workflow to leverage that (people testing locally will
use the same commands as the CI)
* Switches to using the official Golangci-lint action instead of
downloading it via curl
* Bumps the golangci version (supersedes #144)
* Fixes any formatting/linting issues found
* Updates the README to reference the new make targets
* Runs the schema validation scripts as part of the CI
**Next:**
* If you are okay I can file a follow up PR afterwards where I can tidy
up the CI workflows a bit, it feels there's some overlap.
## How Has This Been Tested?
<!-- Have you tested this in a real application? Which scenarios were

Locally by running the make targets

The golangci-lint has been upgraded to v2 since March 2025.
The v2 of golangci-lint has simplified the linters management.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Tested locally with golangci-lint@v2.1.6
## Breaking Changes
No.

Auto build image when we run `docker compose up`, Make it start more
easy for beginner.
## Motivation and Context
When I try to use `docker compose up` start the MCP server, docker
default pull `registry` image from dockerhub, because I forget build
image first.
Maybe we don't need to manually build the image, just build it
automatically when docker compose starts
## How Has This Been Tested?
Just run `docker-compose up --build` at a environment has installed
docker and docker compose.

## Summary
This PR improves the developer experience by adding clear linting
documentation and optional pre-commit hooks to catch issues before CI.
Helpful to avoid fighting Claude Code / Copilot on "please make sure
linting passes CI".
## Changes
- Updated `README.md` with:
- Go 1.23.x requirement (was "1.18 or later")
- golangci-lint v1.61.0 in prerequisites
- New Development section with linting instructions
- Updated `CLAUDE.md` with:
- Development Setup section
- Added `.githooks/pre-commit`:
- Runs golangci-lint and gofmt checks
- References README for installation instructions
- Can be bypassed with `--no-verify` when needed
## Test Plan
- [x] Verified pre-commit hook blocks commits when golangci-lint is
missing
- [x] Confirmed hook shows clear error message pointing to README
- [x] Tested that linting passes with Go 1.23.0 and golangci-lint
v1.61.0
- [x] Verified gofmt correctly identifies formatting issues

<!-- Provide a brief summary of your changes -->
Add support for specifying database type (MongoDB or in-memory
database).
## Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
The README states that MCP Registry supports both MongoDB and in-memory
databases, but does not provide the capability to specify which database
type to use.
5d9171bdcc/README.md (L19)
This PR addresses this limitation by adding explicit database type
configuration through the `DATABASE_TYPE` environment variable, allowing
users to choose between `mongodb` and `memory` database types in a
standardized way.
## How Has This Been Tested?
<!-- Have you tested this in a real application? Which scenarios were
tested? -->
Yes

$ export MCP_REGISTRY_DATABASE_TYPE="memory"

I originally introduced `package_canonical` into the API schema because,
at the time, we were thinking to "pin" the version of the MCP server to
_one_ of the referenced source code packages.
We are no longer doing this (we are maintaining a separate notion of
`version` unique to the MCP server), so I don't believe
`package_canonical` is needed anymore. Does anyone see otherwise?
This change removes all mentions in READMEs and usages in code.
Work in progress .
This commit adds the core registry service implementation with methods to:
- Retrieve all registry entries
- List entries with cursor-based pagination
- Fetch specific server details by ID
