Introduce v0.1 version of the API (#658)
<!-- Provide a brief summary of your changes -->

## Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
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.

## How Has This Been Tested?

# Registry API Changelog
Changes to the REST API endpoints and responses.
## Unreleased
### Added
#### API Versioning - v0.1 Introduction
Introduced `/v0.1/` as a stable API version while `/v0/` continues as the development version.
**New version paths:**
- All `/v0/` endpoints are now also available at `/v0.1/`
- Both versions currently share identical behavior
- `/v0/` will continue to evolve with additive changes (new optional fields, new endpoints)
- `/v0.1/` will remain stable with only additive, backward-compatible changes
- Both versions will be maintained until a future v1.0 release
**Migration guidance:**
- Production applications should consider using `/v0.1/` for stability
- Development and testing can continue using `/v0/` for latest features
- No immediate action required - `/v0/` remains fully supported
### ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES
#### Endpoint Simplification
Removed redundant endpoint to simplify API surface and reduce implementation burden for subregistries.
**Removed endpoints:**
- `GET /v0/servers/{serverName}` - Use `GET /v0/servers/{serverName}/versions/latest` instead
## 2025-09-29
### ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES
#### API Endpoint Restructuring
API endpoints updated to use server names instead of server IDs for better usability.
**Changed endpoints:**
- `GET /v0/servers/{server_id}` → `GET /v0/servers/{serverName}`
- `GET /v0/servers/{server_id}/versions` → `GET /v0/servers/{serverName}/versions`
**New endpoints:**
- `GET /v0/servers/{serverName}/versions/{version}` - Get specific server version
- `PUT /v0/servers/{serverName}/versions/{version}` - Edit server version (admin only)
**Response format changes:**
- Introduced `ServerResponse` schema separating server data from registry metadata
- Moved `status` field from server data to `_meta.io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official`
- Removed `io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official` metadata from `ServerDetail` schema
### Changed
- OpenAPI spec version: `2025-09-16` → `2025-09-29`
## 2025-09-16
### ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES
#### Server ID Endpoints ([#396](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/issues/396))
API endpoints updated for consistent server identification across versions.
**Problem:** Each server version had a unique ID, preventing version history tracking and server renaming.
**Solution:** Introduced consistent server identification across versions.
**Changed endpoints:**
- `GET /v0/servers/{id}` → `GET /v0/servers/{server_id}`
**New endpoints:**
- `GET /v0/servers/{server_id}/versions` - List all versions of a server
- `GET /v0/servers/{server_id}?version=1.0.0` - Get specific version
**Changed response metadata:**
- `_meta.*.id` → `_meta.*.serverId`
- Added: `_meta.*.versionId`
#### Migration Examples
**Old Structure:**
```json
{
"_meta": {
"io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official": {
"id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"published_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"is_latest": true
}
}
}
```
**New Structure:**
```json
{
"_meta": {
"io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official": {
"serverId": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"versionId": "773f9b2e-1a47-4c8d-b5e6-2f8d9c4a7b3e",
"published_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"is_latest": true
}
}
}
```
#### Migration Checklist for API Consumers
- [ ] Update API endpoint URLs from `/v0/servers/{id}` to `/v0/servers/{server_id}`
- [ ] Update code reading registry metadata from `id` to `serverId`/`versionId`
- [ ] Add support for new `/v0/servers/{server_id}/versions` endpoint if needed
- [ ] Update JSON parsing to expect camelCase field names
- [ ] Test with new API responses
### Changed
- OpenAPI spec version: `2025-07-09` → `2025-09-16`
## 2025-07-09
