How I listed my MCP on the official MCP Registery and how you can do yours too ?
When people ask “where do I find MCP servers?”, a growing chunk of the answer starts in one place: the Official MCP Registry at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io . I recently listed ThinkReview MCP there — our hosted server that runs AI code reviews on GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket PR/MR URLs from Cursor, Claude, and Copilot. Here’s exactly what I did, and how you can do the same.…
The Official MCP Registry is a place where metadata about Model Context Protocol servers is stored, not the binaries themselves. It's a repository that lists servers, such as ThinkReview, which runs AI code reviews on different platforms. To list your MCP on this registry, you first need to create a public repository on GitHub that contains documentation, configuration files, and metadata for your MCP.
Next, install the mcp-publisher CLI tool to help you manage your MCP listing. Choose your server's namespace based on how you authenticate, as this will determine the format of your server name. Create a server.json file in your GitHub repository, specifying the name, description, version, website URL, repository URL, and remotes.
The remotes section should include a streamable-http URL pointing to your MCP's endpoint. Authenticate using the mcp-publisher login command, which will require you to authorize the device code in a browser. Finally, publish your MCP using the mcp-publisher publish command. Your MCP will now be listed in the official registry, and can be found using a search query for its registry name or short token.
