MCP Registry

You can use this MCP Registry server to discover and search available MCP servers in the registry. It provides a simple, scalable way to browse servers, handle large result sets with pagination, and prepare data for semantic analysis.

How to use

Use this MCP Registry server with an MCP client to search for available MCP servers, browse through results, and move through large result sets using pagination. You can specify a custom registry URL if you operate a private MCP registry, or rely on the default public registry. The results are returned in a form that helps you analyze and compare servers for discovery, testing, or integration.

Key capabilities you can leverage from a client include:

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js 20 or newer installed on your machine.

Install options include using a quick VS Code integration or defining the MCP server configuration in your mcp.json file.

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp_registry": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-server-mcp-registry@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Configuration tips

If you want to point the MCP client to a private registry, you can override the default registry URL. The default MCP Registry API base URL for servers is https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers.
