This PR contains a few commits, but the punchline is that we add a "🔎"
icon next to community projects that provide an in-browser UI for the
registry. The intention is that these projects can serve as a stopgap or
substitute for
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/issues/99.
This is just a first take. Very open to feedback!

The following PR adds a new v0.1 API version.
The goal is to mark v0.1 as a "freeze" point while keeping v0 as the
moving target for new features so integrators can start building on top
of something stable(r).
Details:
* This change is quite simple - we re-register the same handlers twice,
once as `v0` and once as `v0.1`
* Going forward, we'll keep v0.1 frozen while we add changes either on
top of both (non-breaking) or we'll have to branch if breaking changes
are necessary
* We all acknowledge this is not exactly best-practice, but it gives us
a way to gather feedback and allow clients to start integrating with the
API without breaking them (**note** this implies a follow up PR that
would branch the handlers used in v0.1).
* For integrators/clients: please provide your feedback - what works
well, what doesn't so we can take this into account going towards GA.

This PR adds a Go tool that extracts the ServerDetail schema from
openapi.yaml and generates server.schema.json, ensuring the two specs
stay in sync.
## Key Changes
### New Tooling
- **Go tool** at `tools/extract-server-schema/` that auto-discovers all
schemas referenced by ServerDetail and extracts them from OpenAPI
- **make targets**: `generate-schema` (generates schema) and
`check-schema` (verifies sync)
- `check-schema` is now included in `make validate` and `make check`
### Preserved Validation Constraints
The initial auto-generated schema lost many important validation rules
and descriptive guidance from the hand-crafted version. The OpenAPI spec
has been updated to preserve:
**Security & Descriptions:**
- Command injection security warning on Arguments
- Detailed field descriptions with usage guidance
- `placeholder` field for Input schema
**Validation Constraints:**
- `fileSha256` pattern validation (`^[a-f0-9]{64}$`)
- Package version restrictions (minLength: 1, no "latest")
- `transport` as required field in Package
- ServerDetail `name` pattern and length constraints (3-200 chars)
- Description, title, and version length limits
**Documentation:**
- Repository field descriptions (url, source, id, subfolder)
- PositionalArgument `valueHint` explains transport URL substitution
- Updated examples to match hand-crafted version (Weather API theme)
**Intentional Changes:**
- Removed `additionalProperties` constraints for flexibility
- Updated schema title to be more descriptive
- Added `$comment` noting auto-generation
See the commit "Preserve validation constraints in auto-generated
server.schema.json" for details.
### Fixed Missing Package.transport
- Added `transport` field to OpenAPI Package schema (was in Go model at
`pkg/model/types.go:30` but missing from OpenAPI)
- Split transport types into three separate schemas with proper
discriminated unions:
- `StdioTransport` - Only requires `type: stdio`
- `StreamableHttpTransport` - Requires `type` and `url`, supports
`headers`
- `SseTransport` - Requires `type` and `url`, supports `headers`
- `Package.transport` uses `anyOf` with all three types
- `ServerDetail.remotes` uses `anyOf` with only remote types (no stdio)
### Other Improvements
- Added `GOTOOLCHAIN=auto` to Makefile for Go 1.25 compatibility
- Added `DRIFT_ANALYSIS.md` documenting all schema drift issues found
between specs
## Benefits
**Single Source of Truth**: The OpenAPI spec now serves as the
authoritative schema definition, with server.schema.json automatically
derived from it.
**Better Validation**: All critical validation rules (patterns, length
constraints, required fields) and security warnings are preserved in the
generated schema.
**Improved Developer Experience**:
- Schema changes only need to be made in one place (openapi.yaml)
- CI validation ensures specs never drift apart
- Clear auto-generation comment prevents manual edits
## Validation
✅ All 20 examples validate correctly
✅ Lint passes with 0 issues
✅ Schema is in sync with OpenAPI
✅ All validation constraints from hand-crafted schema preserved

Implements icon support based on the Model Context Protocol
specification, allowing servers to specify display icons with optional
size, MIME type, and theme variants.
## Changes
- Add `Icon` type to `pkg/model/types.go` with struct tags for automatic
API validation
- Add `icons` field to `ServerJSON` in `pkg/api/v0/types.go`
- Add icon validation in `internal/validators/validators.go`:
- Only HTTPS URLs allowed (no HTTP or data URIs)
- Maximum URL length of 255 characters
- Validates absolute URLs with proper scheme
- Update JSON schema and OpenAPI documentation with Icon definitions
- Add comprehensive test cases for icon validation
- Add example icon to seed.json (Airtable server)
- Change `websiteUrl` validation to HTTPS-only for consistency
## Implementation Details
The implementation uses a two-layer validation architecture:
1. **Huma framework** validates struct tags (`required`, `maxLength`,
`enum`, `pattern`) and returns 422 for violations
2. **Custom validators** handle business logic (HTTPS scheme
requirement, absolute URL requirement) and return 400 for violations
This approach leverages Huma's automatic validation while keeping
business-specific rules in the validator layer.
## Icon Field Specification
- `src` (required): HTTPS URL to icon resource, max 255 characters
- `mimeType` (optional): One of `image/png`, `image/jpeg`, `image/jpg`,
`image/svg+xml`, `image/webp`
- `sizes` (optional): Array of size strings in "WxH" format or "any" for
scalable formats
- `theme` (optional): Either "light" or "dark" to indicate intended
background
Multiple icons can be provided (e.g., for different themes or sizes).
Remove redundant endpoint as suggested in #617. Clients should now use
`GET /v0/servers/{serverName}/versions/latest` instead (using `latest`
as a special version value in the existing endpoint).
This simplifies the API surface and reduces implementation burden for
subregistries, while maintaining a clear migration path for consumers.
## Changes
- Removed `GET /v0/servers/{serverName}` endpoint
- Updated `GET /v0/servers/{serverName}/versions/{version}` to accept
`latest` as special version
- Updated all tests to use new endpoint pattern
- Updated documentation and OpenAPI spec
- Added breaking change notice to CHANGELOG
Fixes#617

Some folks have been asking for the slides from the recent [Dev
Summit](https://mcpdevsummiteurope2025.sched.com/) presentation, and
figure this is the best place to store them.
- Clarified `value` field description to remove incorrect 'default'
wording
- Improved `valueHint` description to clarify its form and purpose
(labels and variable substitution)
- Fixed NamedArgument `description` to use correct flag syntax (--flag
{value})
- Enhanced `default` field description with guidance on valid values and
when to use placeholder instead
- Added optional Input `placeholder` field for input guidance and
examples

## Motivation and Context
After implementing a configuration UX for the registry supporting all
schema elements, performing schema validation on all published servers
and analyzing failures, and hand reviewing approximately a hundred
server configurations, I found a number of concerning issues
(essentially misconfigurations, verified by the docs of the server in
question, which often did not fail schema validation). I also found
"proper" configurations which disagreed with the schema guidance (for
example, all named args usage).
I documented those issues and my recommendations here:
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/discussions/572
The fairly modest changes in this PR will address these issues (or at
least make the correct usage more clear so that we can give more
explicit guidance that is consistent with the new schema, and generally
clean up these misconfiguration).
## How Has This Been Tested?
I used my own schema validation script to apply this schema to all
published servers. The changes are only documentation (description
updates) and the addition of a new field property, so no validation
behavior change was intended nor was any observed.

## 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"

This PR simplifies the OpenAPI schema by merging the `Server` component
into `ServerDetail`, addressing the issue where the `Server` component
was never used independently.
## Changes
- Merged all Server properties directly into ServerDetail in both
OpenAPI spec and JSON schema
- Removed allOf construct for clearer, standalone definitions
- Deleted unused Server components
## Benefits
- Clearer schema structure
- Easier to understand without inheritance tracing
- Reduced maintenance complexity
- No functionality loss
## Validation
All schemas and documentation examples continue to validate
successfully.

## Summary
This PR removes version numbers from release asset names and updates
documentation to use GitHub's `latest` tag for mcp-publisher downloads.
## Changes
1. **Updated `.goreleaser.yaml`**: Removed `{{ .Version }}` from asset
name templates
- Changed from: `mcp-publisher_{{ .Version }}_{{ .Os }}_{{ .Arch }}`
- Changed to: `mcp-publisher_{{ .Os }}_{{ .Arch }}`
2. **Updated documentation**: Changed all download URLs to use `latest`
tag instead of version-pinned URLs
- `docs/guides/publishing/publish-server.md`
- `docs/guides/publishing/github-actions.md`
## Benefits
- Documentation stays automatically up-to-date without manual changes or
workflows
- Users always get the latest version by default
- Version pinning still possible using specific tags (e.g.,
`https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/releases/download/v1.2.3/mcp-publisher_darwin_amd64.tar.gz`)
- Simpler maintenance and better user experience
## Notes
The new asset naming will take effect with the next release. After that,
users can immediately start using the `latest` tag.
Fixes#607
## 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

<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
It will be beneficial to have a cheat sheet that describes what are the
spaces of docs, organizes the spaces, and provides references to

Add three new community projects to the community-projects.md reference:
- mcp-registry-cli: CLI tool for navigating registry servers
- mcp-insights: Analytics and insights platform
- Open Chat MCP Registry Client: TypeScript client implementation
## 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)

## Summary
Add Community Resources section to GitHub Actions guide referencing
OtherVibes/mcp-publish-action as requested in discussion #518.
## Changes
- Add "Community Resources" section to
`docs/guides/publishing/github-actions.md`
- Include reference to OtherVibes/mcp-publish-action with appropriate
disclaimers
- Provide example usage and key features
- Position after Tips section for discoverability
- Structure allows for future community tool additions
## Context
This addresses the community request in discussion #518 where
@OtherVibes suggested adding a reference to their reusable GitHub Action
in the publishing docs. The maintainers (@tadasant, @domdomegg) approved
adding a community resources section with appropriate disclaimers.
The implementation follows the original request to add the reference
specifically to the GitHub Actions guide
(`docs/guides/publishing/github-actions.md`) rather than creating a
separate page.
## Benefits
- Provides users with a streamlined, community-built option for MCP
server publishing
- Reduces workflow boilerplate for developers
- Includes clear disclaimers about third-party tools
- Maintains documentation cohesion by keeping everything in the relevant
file
Closes#518

This seems to be a regresion after rename, those fields were originally
required:
8d7e471fd3/docs/server-registry-api/openapi.yaml (L247-L252)
In
https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/2025-09-16/server.schema.json,
those fields are also required.

This pull request makes a minor update to the documentation for
installing the MCP Publisher in GitHub Actions workflows. The change
updates the installation command to use version 1.1.0 of the MCP
Publisher instead of version 1.0.0.
## Motivation and Context
The `mcp-publisher` version in GitHub Actions has to be updated so it
can publish the MCP server to the newest version of MCP Registry.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Documentation update only. No test needed.

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 --

## Summary
- Fixed `Remote` schema in OpenAPI spec to use correct field name `type`
instead of `transport_type`
- Updated enum values from `[streamable, sse]` to `[streamable-http,
sse]` to match actual API
## Context
The OpenAPI spec was inconsistent with the actual API implementation.
The live API at https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers
returns `type: 'sse'` and `type: 'streamable-http'`, but the spec
defined `transport_type` with values `streamable` and `sse`.
This now matches:
- The Go constants in pkg/model/constants.go
- The actual API responses
This commit implements support for publishing MCP servers to GitHub
Container
Registry (ghcr.io) in addition to the existing Docker Hub support,
addressing
Docker Hub rate limiting concerns as requested in #393.
Key changes:
- Add RegistryURLGHCR constant for https://ghcr.io
- Refactor OCI validation to support multiple container registries with
extensible RegistryConfig system
- Implement registry-agnostic authentication system that handles:
- Docker Hub token-based authentication via auth.docker.io
- GHCR token-based authentication via ghcr.io/token service
- Update Accept headers to support OCI image indexes for multi-arch
images
- Extract helper functions to reduce cyclomatic complexity and improve
code maintainability
- Add comprehensive test coverage for both Docker Hub and GHCR scenarios
- Include real image testing with github/github-mcp-server and
nkapila6/mcp-local-rag
- Update publishing documentation with GHCR examples and authentication
details
The implementation maintains backward compatibility with existing Docker
Hub
usage while providing a future-proof architecture for adding additional
container registries. All authentication is now handled through proper
token
services for both registries.
Fixes#393
## Motivation and Context
Docker Hub rate limiting has been causing issues for the MCP registry
when validating OCI images. Adding GHCR support provides an alternative
container registry that many MCP server authors are already using,
reducing the load on Docker Hub and providing more options for the
community.
## How Has This Been Tested?
- All existing unit tests continue to pass
- Added comprehensive test coverage for GHCR scenarios including:
- Non-existent images (proper error handling)
- Real images without MCP annotations (github/github-mcp-server)
- Real images with proper MCP annotations (nkapila6/mcp-local-rag)
- Registry URL validation for both supported registries
- Tested authentication flow manually using curl commands
- Verified multi-arch image support with OCI index manifests
## Breaking Changes
None. This is a purely additive change that maintains full backward
compatibility with existing Docker Hub configurations.
## Types of changes
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [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
The implementation uses a RegistryConfig struct to abstract
registry-specific details like API endpoints, authentication URLs, and
token services. This design makes it straightforward to add support for
additional container registries in the future (such as AWS ECR, Azure
Container Registry, etc.) by simply adding new cases to the
getRegistryConfig function.
The authentication system properly handles the different token services
used by each registry:
- Docker Hub: auth.docker.io with service=registry.docker.io
- GHCR: ghcr.io/token with service=ghcr.io
Both registries now support the full OCI specification including
multi-arch images via OCI image indexes.

Simplifies the GitHub Actions publishing guide to be more concise and
easier to follow:
## Changes
- Streamlined MCP publisher installation with single-line curl command
(no more chmod/directory operations)
- Condensed authentication methods into compact sections
- Reduced language-specific examples to essential steps only
- Updated GitHub Actions to use latest versions (v5)
- Made test/build steps optional with `--if-present` flag
- Added helpful AI assistant prompt tip to publish-server.md
## Result
The guide is now much more succinct while maintaining all essential
information, following the same simplified approach as the main
publishing guide.
## Summary
- Move package version 'remarks' to 'description' field in JSON schema
(remarks is not a standard JSON schema field)
- Confirmed non-semver version test coverage already exists
Addresses followup comments from #435.

<!-- Provide a brief summary of your changes -->
## Motivation and Context
Currently there are a couple shortcomings I found in the
server.schema.json:
- It uses `https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema` which is
unfortunately [not supported by VS
Code](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/165219)
- The Package schema does not require properties that are required by
the service
This means that need to round trip with the publish endpoint (perhaps
spinning CI builds) to get the server.json right. It would be great if
we could shift left and get indications in VS Code easier.
I propose we downgrade the schema to
`http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#`. The only difference for us is
the name of `$def` pointers.
I looked that [SchemaStore](https://github.com/SchemaStore/schemastore)
and it looks like `draft-07` is by far the most popular. I believe the
concession of using an older schema is worth it to get VS Code editor
hints.
Schema version | Count in SchemaStore
-- | --
`http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#` | 292
`http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#` | 1972
`https://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/schema` | 4
`https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema` | 4
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
## Open questions
- [ ] Should package `transport` actually be required? Or should `stdio`
be assumed?
- [ ] Should package `registry_base_url` be required? All of the
examples have it it's not required by the publish endpoint.
