## Summary
Move the publisher CLI from `tools/publisher/` to `cmd/publisher/` as
it's a proper application rather than a development utility.
This addresses feedback from @rdimitrov in PR #324 that the publisher
CLI should be under `cmd/` since it's not really a tool in the same
sense as other helpers in the `tools/` folder.
## Changes
- Moved `tools/publisher/` directory to `cmd/publisher/`
- Updated Makefile build and clean targets
- Updated README.md documentation links
- Updated VS Code launch configuration
- Updated integration test script
- Updated FAQ documentation
- Fixed Go import paths in publisher code

## Summary
- Improved command structure and organization for the MCP Publisher CLI
- Enhanced readability and maintainability of publisher commands
- Cleaned up publish and edit handler logic
This builds on the previous cleanup work to further streamline the
publisher interface.
This also works as part of
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/issues/89
<!-- Provide a brief summary of your changes -->
This PR serves as a placeholder and brings together all of the changes
related to supporting vendor extensions passed through the API. The idea
is to have a single place to track and review the work as it comes
together (even if it’s still a bit of a work in progress).
**The changes in this PR cover:**
* Updates on the data model
* Updates on both databases (in-memory and postgresql), added a new
table to PSQL for tracking the extensions leaving the server table only
for the clean server.json properties
* Updates the seed.json file (thus the big line change)
* Adds a seed-migrate tool to help migrating an existing seed file to
the new format
* Updates the seed import mechanism to support this
* Updates the existing tests - unit, integration and validation tests
* Adds the publish handler to the OpenAPI spec (it was missing)
* Fixes linting errors
* Updates on the API side on (publish, list, get) to support the new
format of `ServerResponse` -
```
{
"server": {},
"x-io.modelcontextprotocol.registry": {}, /*not available for publish since this gets populated by the registry*/
"x-publisher": {}
}
```
## Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->

https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/discussions/284
## How Has This Been Tested?
<!-- Have you tested this in a real application? Which scenarios were
tested? -->
Locally and by running all of the tests
## Breaking Changes
<!-- Will users need to update their code or configurations? -->
Yes, it changes both the API and the format of the seed file

Fixes#228
## Motivation and Context
See #19
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Run locally
- Run in docker compose
- Run infra in minikube
- Unit and integration tests all passing :)
## Breaking Changes
Yes: users will not be able to access any data they used to have in
custom mongodb. We are accepting this breaking change, given the
registry is in experimental development status.

## Additional context
I have not implemented connection pooling support for simplicity, and
because cloudnative-pg already provides built-in connection pooling with
pgBouncer so if we want it later we can switch to this endpoint easily.
## Motivation and Context
- Adds credentials for the new MCP Registry Login GitHub Apps (local,
staging, prod)
- Adds support for "none" auth to publisher
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Tested publisher workflows locally
- Unit and integration tests passing
## Breaking Changes
None

Merging based on Tadas's approval review, and only making minor docs changes on top of that.
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.

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.
