The following PR adds a new server `status` field to support the status of servers, like deprecated or active Details: * Add status field to server.json schema with 'active' and 'deprecated' values * Update OpenAPI spec to include status field in Server responses * Add ServerStatus enum and field to Go model structs * Update examples to demonstrate status field usage (`active` and `deprecated`) Since this is my first PR there's a good chance I might have missed something so I'll appreciate any feedback to make this and any PRs in the future easier for you to review 😃 Fixes: #181 ## Motivation and Context <!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? --> The main goal is to have a way for server authors to notify registry consumers that a server may no longer be maintained and shouldn't be considered for using. ## How Has This Been Tested? <!-- Have you tested this in a real application? Which scenarios were tested? --> ## Breaking Changes <!-- Will users need to update their code or configurations? --> ## Types of changes <!-- What types of changes does your code introduce? Put an `x` in all the boxes that apply: --> - [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change) - [ ] Documentation update ## Checklist <!-- Go over all the following points, and put an `x` in all the boxes that apply. --> - [x] I have read the [MCP Documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) - [ ] My code follows the repository's style guidelines - [ ] New and existing tests pass locally - [ ] I have added appropriate error handling - [ ] I have added or updated documentation as needed ## Additional context <!-- Add any other context, implementation notes, or design decisions --> --------- Signed-off-by: Radoslav Dimitrov <radoslav@stacklok.com> Co-authored-by: Tadas Antanavicius <tadas@tadasant.com>

# Server JSON Examples
|
|
|
|
## Basic Server with NPM Package
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "io.modelcontextprotocol/brave-search",
|
|
"description": "MCP server for Brave Search API integration",
|
|
"status": "active",
|
|
"repository": {
|
|
"url": "https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers",
|
|
"source": "github",
|
|
"id": "abc123de-f456-7890-ghij-klmnopqrstuv"
|
|
},
|
|
"version_detail": {
|
|
"version": "1.0.2"
|
|
},
|
|
"packages": [
|
|
{
|
|
"registry_name": "npm",
|
|
"name": "@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search",
|
|
"version": "1.0.2",
|
|
"environment_variables": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "BRAVE_API_KEY",
|
|
"description": "Brave Search API Key",
|
|
"is_required": true,
|
|
"is_secret": true
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Constant (fixed) arguments needed to start the MCP server
|
|
|
|
Suppose your MCP server application requires a `mcp start` CLI arguments to start in MCP server mode. Express these as positional arguments like this:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Knapcode.SampleMcpServer",
|
|
"description": "Sample NuGet MCP server for a random number and random weather",
|
|
"version_detail": {
|
|
"version": "0.4.0-beta"
|
|
},
|
|
"packages": [
|
|
{
|
|
"registry_name": "nuget",
|
|
"name": "Knapcode.SampleMcpServer",
|
|
"version": "0.4.0-beta",
|
|
"package_arguments": [
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "positional",
|
|
"value": "mcp"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "positional",
|
|
"value": "start"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will essentially instruct the MCP client to execute `dnx Knapcode.SampleMcpServer@0.4.0-beta -- mcp start` instead of the default `dnx Knapcode.SampleMcpServer@0.4.0-beta` (when no `package_arguments` are provided).
