all changes; ready for final review.
## Summary
This PR adds LocalTransport and RemoteTransport separation with URL
template variable support for remote servers, enabling e.g. multi-tenant
deployments with configurable endpoints.
**Key additions:**
- LocalTransport (for Packages) and RemoteTransport (for Remotes)
- URL template variables for remote transports (e.g., `{tenant_id}` in
URLs)
- Pattern validation ensuring URLs are URL-like while allowing templates
- Full test coverage via Go validator tests and documentation examples
## ⚠️ server.json Update
This PR updates the `server.json` schema. A new schema version will be
cut after this lands.
## Problem
The current schema describes URL templating with `{curly_braces}` for
transports but provides no mechanism for Remote contexts to define what
those variables should resolve to, making the feature unusable for
remote servers.
Referenced issue: #394
- Users need multi-tenant remote servers with different endpoints per
deployment
- Each tenant/region has its own URL (e.g., `us-cell1.example.com`,
`emea-cell1.example.com`)
- Current schema doesn't support parameterized remote URLs
## Solution
### Schema Architecture
**LocalTransport** (for Package context):
```typescript
LocalTransport = StdioTransport | StreamableHttpTransport | SseTransport
```
- Used in Package context (non-breaking rename of existing behavior)
- Variables in `{curly_braces}` reference parent Package
arguments/environment variables
- Supports all three transport types including stdio
**RemoteTransport** (for Remote context):
```typescript
RemoteTransport = (StreamableHttpTransport | SseTransport) + { variables: object }
```
- Extends StreamableHttp/Sse via `allOf` composition - no duplication!
- Adds `variables` object for URL templating
- Only supports streamable-http and sse (stdio not valid for remotes)
### Key Changes
**1. Schema Updates** (`openapi.yaml`, `server.schema.json`):
- Added `LocalTransport` union type for Package context
- Added `RemoteTransport` with `allOf` composition extending base
transports
- Updated Package to reference `LocalTransport`
- Updated remotes to reference `RemoteTransport`
- Added URL pattern validation: `^https?://[^\\s]+$` to both
StreamableHttp and SSE
- Removed `format: uri` from SSE (was blocking template variables)
**2. Go Types** (`pkg/model/types.go`):
- Base `Transport` struct unchanged for Package context
- `RemoteTransport` struct for remotes with `Variables` field
- Both work with existing validation infrastructure
**3. Validators** (`internal/validators/`):
- `validateRemoteTransport()` validates Remote-specific constraints
- `collectRemoteTransportVariables()` extracts available variables
- `IsValidTemplatedURL()` validates template variables reference defined
variables
- `IsValidRemoteURL()` handles template variable substitution before
localhost check
- 6 new test cases for remote transport variable validation
**4. Documentation Examples** (`generic-server-json.md`):
- Remote Server with URL Templating (StreamableHttp with `{tenant_id}`)
- SSE Remote with URL Templating (SSE with `{tenant_id}`)
- Local Server with URL Templating (Package with `{port}`)
- All examples validate via existing `validate-examples` tool
## Example: Remote Transport with Variables
```json
{
"remotes": [
{
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://api.example.com/mcp/{tenant_id}/{region}",
"variables": {
"tenant_id": {
"description": "Tenant identifier",
"isRequired": true,
"choices": ["us-cell1", "emea-cell1", "apac-cell1"]
},
"region": {
"description": "Deployment region",
"isRequired": true
}
}
}
]
}
```
Clients configure the variables, and `{tenant_id}` and `{region}` get
replaced to connect to tenant-specific endpoints like
`https://api.example.com/mcp/us-cell1/east`.
## Architecture Details
**Context-based variable resolution:**
- **Package + LocalTransport**: `{port}` references `--port` argument or
`PORT` env var from parent Package
- **Remote + RemoteTransport**: `{tenant_id}` references
`variables.tenant_id` defined in the transport itself
- **Code reuse**: StreamableHttp/Sse definitions shared via `allOf`, not
duplicated
- **Validation**: Template variables validated against available
variables for each context

## Follow-on Work
Follow-on work will be done to adopt the feedback in
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/pull/570#issuecomment-3367417636
regarding variable naming/prioritzation/scoping conventions, but should
not have any impact on the shape being introduced here (just
validations).

<!-- Provide a brief summary of your changes -->
## Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
This resolves
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/issues/738. There are
two issues with the NuGet.org integration today:
1. Change the `registryBaseUrl` for NuGet to
`https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json`. `https://api.nuget.org` is not
the entry point for our service and is not specific enough.
`https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json` is the value that users put into
their tooling to connect to our public registry (it is installed by
default in .NET client tooling).
2. Use the service index API to get the URL pattern for package READMEs.
- This URL is not guaranteed to be stable. The service index URL
(`registryBaseUrl`) is, however.
Additionally, I polished up the error messages so various error modes
are clearer. When packages are published to NuGet.org, they take 2-5
minutes to become available due to validations we run.
Some possible states that are now handled and described more helpfully
are:
- Version exists, but the package has no README
- The ID exists, but the version does not
- The ID does not exist at all
There are only 3 authors (me, another MSFT person, and a community
member) explicitly setting the old value. The DB migration will fix the
issue. A future publish will fail with the validation error but the
error message is clear.
`registry type and base URL do not match: 'https://api.nuget.org' is not
valid for registry type 'nuget'. Expected:
https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json`
## How Has This Been Tested?
<!-- Have you tested this in a real application? Which scenarios were
tested? -->
- Unit tests, new and existing
- Manual test locally
- Set old data in the DB, `docker compose up`, confirm the migration
updates the specific package
## Breaking Changes
Yes, but minimal impact expected, unless there is a dependency on the
specific `https://api.nuget.org` value downstream. I am not aware of any
such dependency, and the new value is more proper and specific.

## Summary
Introduces a new optional `title` field for MCP servers to provide a
clean, human-readable display name that clients and subregistries can
use for display purposes.
Fixes#606
## Changes
- Added `title` field to `ServerJSON` type (optional, max 100 chars)
- Added validation to reject titles ending with 'MCP Server', 'MCP
server', or 'MCP' suffixes
- Updated JSON schema and OpenAPI specification
- Added comprehensive test coverage for title validation
- Updated all documentation examples to demonstrate the new field
## Validation
The title field:
- Is optional (can be omitted)
- Must not be only whitespace if provided
- Must not end with MCP-related suffixes (case-insensitive)
- Can contain 'MCP' in the middle (e.g., "MCP Weather API" is valid)
Examples:
- ✅ Valid: "GitHub", "Weather API", "Slack Integration"
- ❌ Invalid: "GitHub MCP", "Weather MCP Server", "Slack-MCP"

## Summary
Changes `streamable-http` to be the recommended and primary transport
type in documentation examples, while keeping SSE as a secondary option
during the preview period.
## Changes
- ✅ Update all primary remote server examples to use `streamable-http`
- ✅ Reorder multi-transport examples to show `streamable-http` first
- ✅ Add note that SSE is deprecated but still supported during preview
- ✅ Update transport protocol requirements text to indicate
`streamable-http` (recommended) and `sse` (deprecated)
## Context
As noted in issue #487, the docs were using SSE as the primary example
despite it being deprecated in the MCP specification (2025-06-18) in
favor of streamable HTTP. This PR aligns the documentation with the spec
while maintaining backward compatibility information for the preview
period.
Per maintainer feedback on the issue:
- SSE is still supported during the preview phase
- Eventually SSE support will be removed
- The community would benefit from consistent messaging about the
preferred transport
## Files Changed
- `docs/guides/publishing/publish-server.md` - Main publishing guide
- `docs/reference/server-json/generic-server-json.md` - Reference
documentation with examples
## Approach
This takes a balanced approach:
- Makes streamable-http the clear primary/recommended option
- Keeps SSE documented as supported during preview (not hidden)
- Adds explicit note about deprecation status
- Minimal changes, focused on examples and ordering

## Summary
- Remove the `status` field from all server.json examples in
documentation
- Remove the deprecated server example that was primarily about
demonstrating the status field
- Update example count validation from 13 to 12
## Context
The `status` field was removed from the server.json schema in commit
b21c6f5 (#562). This PR cleans up the documentation to reflect that
change.
## Why didn't tests catch this?
The schema validation didn't catch the invalid `status` field because
the JSON schema doesn't have `additionalProperties: false` set. This
means the schema allows arbitrary additional properties by default.
## Test plan
- [x] All validation checks pass (`make check`)
- [x] Example count updated to match the new total (12 examples)

Wielded Claude Code to do this; across many iterations and have reviewed
all the code + largely rewritten the PR commentary here.
This PR implements the server ID consistency changes from
[#396](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/issues/396). Our
goal is to:
- Rename `id` to `versionId` to make it clear that it is the ID for a
specific version, not a server
- Introduce `serverId` as a net new concept. This will be 1:1 with
`name`. While not strictly necessary (we could just use name as a PK),
the convention of having a UUID as an ID on our objects is just a
helpful subjective architecture decision. Plus also leaves open the door
to reconsidering the "should we allow renames" question.
## Key Changes
### 🗄️ Database Schema Changes
- **Renamed**: `id` column → `version_id` (unique identifier for each
server version)
### 📋 Metadata Structure Updates
- **JSON Schema**: Updated
`_meta.io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official` to include:
- `serverId`: Consistent ID across all versions of a server
- `versionId`: Unique ID for this specific version (renamed from `id`)
### 🔧 API Endpoint Updates
- **New endpoint structure**: Changed from version-ID-based to
server-ID-based URLs:
- `GET /v0/servers/{server_id}` - Get latest version of server
- `GET /v0/servers/{server_id}?version=X.X.X` - Get specific version
- `GET /v0/servers/{server_id}/versions` - List all versions of a server
- `PUT /v0/servers/{server_id}?version=X.X.X` - Edit specific version
- **Consistent URL patterns**: All server endpoints now use `server_id`
as the primary identifier
### Database Migration Strategy
The migration (`005_add_server_id_rename_version_id.sql`):
1. Adds new `version_id` column
2. Generates deterministic UUIDs for servers with the same name
3. Updates JSON metadata to add `serverId` and rename `id` to
`versionId`
4. Copies existing `id` values to `version_id` column
5. Drops old `id` column and makes `version_id` the new primary key
## Testing
Besides of course automated tests passing, I:
1. Set up my local db with the pre-005-migration state, imported all the
production data
2. Ran the migration
3. Spot checked some diffs of the data that resulted --

Adds optional website_url field to the server.json schema allowing
publishers to provide a url to the server's homepage, documentation, or
project website. This provides a central link for users to learn more
about the server. Particularly useful when the server has custom
installation instructions or setup requirements.
Issue: #183
PR: #130
Discussion: #274
## Motivation and Context
This change addresses the need identified in #130, #183 and #274 for a
standardized way to direct users to an official landing page similar to
`homepage` used in NPM
([example](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@modelcontextprotocol/sdk)). It
is also serves as a viable option for MCP Servers that don't follow
typical package manager patterns (e.g., embedded in a Desktop app).
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Schema validation: All 13 example server.json files validate
successfully against the updated schema
- Go validator tests: Added additional test cases covering URL format
validation and namespace matching
- Run all checks: Updated example files to work with anonymous
publishing and verified `make check` passes
## Breaking Changes
None. The website_url field is optional and backward compatible with
existing server.json files.
## Types of changes
- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [x] Documentation update
## 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
## Additional context
Security considerations:
- Website URL validation enforces that the domain matches the
publisher's reverse-DNS namespace
- HTTP/HTTPS protocols are required (no file:// or other schemes)
- Validation is consistent with existing remote URL validation patterns
## Summary
Simplified the schema structure by:
- Replacing `version_detail.version` with direct `version` field
- Removing unused `release_date` field from seed data
- Updating all API types, models, and tests to match new structure
- Maintaining backwards compatibility in API responses
This change makes the schema more intuitive and reduces nesting depth.
## Summary
Updates the `_meta` field structure to be compliant with the MCP
specification by using proper `prefix/name` format for vendor
extensions.
### Changes
- **Registry metadata**: `io.modelcontextprotocol.registry` →
`io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official`
- **Publisher metadata**: `publisher` →
`io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/publisher-provided`
- **Database migration**: Updates indexes to use new field paths
- **Updated all code**: Service layer, validators, tests, and seed data
### Format Before
```json
{
"_meta": {
"publisher": { "license": "MIT" },
"io.modelcontextprotocol.registry": { "id": "...", "is_latest": true }
}
}
```
### Format After
```json
{
"_meta": {
"io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/publisher-provided": { "license": "MIT" },
"io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official": { "id": "...", "is_latest": true }
}
}
```
This resolves the naming collision with the planned top-level
`publisher` field and ensures compliance with MCP specification
requirements.
Fixes#356
## Motivation and Context
Docs currently don't have very clear organisation, and don't explain
core flows.
This fixes#89 (although we still might want to push these to
`https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/`), based on the plan there.
One minor change from that plan is that I merged tutorials and guides,
because they ended up basically being duplicates which I thought would
be annoying for us to keep in sync. Additionally in the Diátaxis
framework, tutorials and guides are separated by whether they are
focused on acquisition of skills (e.g. in a learning environment) or
application of skills (e.g. in a work environment). I expect the
registry to be something that will be used occasionally in a work
environment, rather than a fundamental 'learnable' skill so I think it's
reasonable not to have tutorials and fold these into guides.
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Read through all these updated docs
- Unit and integration tests (that previously used examples.md and use
the schema) working
- Ran `npx markdown-link-check .` to check all the links work
## Breaking Changes
Links to old docs will break, but I don't think there are any. All
internal links have been checked and updated.
