05422afffbCloses #149 As noted in the FAQ update here, this is a helpful starting point in thinking about this: ``` ### What is the difference between "Official MCP Registry", "MCP Registry", "MCP registry", "MCP Registry API", etc? There are four underlying concepts: - "MCP Server Registry API" (or "MCP Registry API"): The OpenAPI specification defined in [openapi.yaml](./server-registry-api/openapi.yaml). This is a reusable API specification that anyone building any sort of "MCP server registry" should consider adopting / aligning with. - "Official MCP Registry" (or "MCP Registry"): The application that lives at `https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io`. This registry currently only catalogs MCP servers, but may be extended in the future to also catalog MCP client/host apps and frameworks. - "Official MCP Registry API": The REST API that lives at `https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/api`, with an OpenAPI specification defined at [official-registry-openapi.yaml](./server-registry-api/official-registry-openapi.yaml) - "MCP server registry" (or "MCP registry"): A third party, likely commercial, implementation of the MCP Server Registry API or derivative specification. ``` Prior to this PR, we were just treating "MCP Server Registry API" and "Official MCP Registry API" to be the same thing. They are not the same: the latter is inherently a more constrained version of the former. A private deployment of a similar registry need not have constraints like "the only valid source code repositories are `github` and `gitlab`". This PR separates out the definitions to match that path forward. ## Notable Changes ### Base OpenAPI spec (`openapi.yaml`) - Removed official-registry-specific constraints: - No maximum limit on `/servers` endpoint - No enum constraint on `Repository.source` - No enum constraint on `Package.registry_name` - Removed `/v0` prefix from paths (it's now just baked into the `official` one's URL prefix) - Added `$id` for proper schema identification ### Official Registry OpenAPI spec (`official-registry-openapi.yaml`) - Created as a derivative of the base spec using `$ref` - Re-adds official-registry-specific constraints: - `Repository.source` enum: `[github]` - `Package.registry_name` enum: `[npm, docker, pypi, nuget]` ### Documentation updates - Added `server-registry-api/README.md` explaining the relationship between specs - Updated FAQ to clarify terminology - Reorganized docs structure
