# MCP Registry
A reference implementation of a registry service for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
> **Note:** This project is currently a work in progress.
## Overview
The MCP Registry service provides a centralized repository for MCP server entries. It allows discovery and management of various MCP implementations with their associated metadata, configurations, and capabilities.
## Features
- RESTful API for managing MCP registry entries (list, get, create, update, delete)
- Health check endpoint for service monitoring
- Support for various environment configurations
- Graceful shutdown handling
- MongoDB and in-memory database support
- Comprehensive API documentation
- Pagination support for listing registry entries

## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Go 1.18 or later
- MongoDB (optional, for production use)
- Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)
### Building
```bash
make build
```
This will create the `registry` binary in the `build/` directory.
### Running
```bash
./build/mcp-registry
```
Alternatively, run
```bash
make run
```
By default, the service will run on `http://localhost:8080`.
### Docker Deployment
You can build and run the service using Docker:
```bash
# Build the Docker image
docker build -t registry .
# Run the container
docker run -p 8080:8080 registry
```
This will build and start the MCP Registry service in a container, exposing it on port 8080.
### Using the Fake Service
For development and testing purposes, the application includes a fake service with pre-populated registry entries. To use the fake service:
1. Set the environment to "test":
```bash
export APP_ENV=test
./build/registry
```
Alternatively, run
```bash
make run-test
```
The fake service provides three sample MCP registry entries with the following capabilities:
- Registry 1: Code generation and completion capabilities
- Registry 2: Chat and knowledge base capabilities
- Registry 3: Data visualization and analysis capabilities
You can interact with the fake data through the API endpoints:
- List all entries: `GET /servers`
The fake service is useful for:
- Frontend development without a real backend
- Testing API integrations
- Example data structure reference
## API Endpoints
### Health Check
```
GET /v0/health
```
Returns the health status of the service:
```json
{
"status": "ok"
}
```
### Registry Endpoints
#### List Registry Server Entries
```
GET /v0/servers
```
Lists MCP registry server entries with pagination support.
Query parameters:
- `limit`: Maximum number of entries to return (default: 30, max: 100)
- `cursor`: Pagination cursor for retrieving next set of results
Response example:
```json
{
"servers": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "Example MCP Server",
"description": "An example MCP server implementation",
"url": "https://example.com/mcp",
"repository": {
"url": "https://github.com/example/mcp-server",
"stars": 120
},
"version": "1.0.0",
}],
"metadata": {
"next_cursor": "cursor-value-for-next-page"
}
}
```
### Ping Endpoint
```
GET /v0/ping
```
Simple ping endpoint that returns environment configuration information:
```json
{
"environment": "dev",
"version": "registry-<sha>"
}
```
## Configuration
The service can be configured using environment variables:
| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `APP_ENV` | Application environment (production, test) | production |
| `APP_VERSION`| Application version | dev |
| `DATABASE_URL` | MongoDB connection string | mongodb://localhost:27017 |
## Testing
Run the test script to validate API endpoints:
```bash
./scripts/test_endpoints.sh
```
You can specify specific endpoints to test:
```bash
./scripts/test_endpoints.sh --endpoint health
./scripts/test_endpoints.sh --endpoint servers
```
