### Description (declared)

# MCP Server Cards

An MCP server for generating, validating, and discovering MCP server cards — a standardized way to describe MCP servers so AI agents can automatically find and understand them.

## What are Server Cards?

Server Cards are machine-readable JSON files that describe an MCP server's capabilities, similar to how `robots.txt` describes crawling rules or `manifest.json` describes web apps. They live at `.well-known/mcp-server-card.json` and contain:

- **Name & Description** — What the server does
- **Tools** — List of available tools with descriptions
- **Author & Repository** — Who built it, where to find the source
- **Categories** — Tags for discovery and search
- **Pricing** — Whether it's free, freemium, or paid
- **Transport** — Whether it uses stdio, HTTP, or both
- **Auth** — Whether authentication is required

## Why Server Cards?

As the MCP ecosystem grows, agents need a way to discover and evaluate servers automatically. Server Cards solve this by providing:

1. **Automatic Discovery** — Agents can check `.well-known/mcp-server-card.json` on any domain
2. **Standardized Metadata** — Consistent format for comparing servers
3. **Capability Description** — Agents know what tools are available before connecting
4. **Trust Signals** — Author, repository, and pricing information

## Installation

```bash
pip install agent-server-card-mcp
```

## Usage

### As MCP Server

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server-cards": {
      "command": "server-card-server"
    }
  }
}
```

### With uvx

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server-cards": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agent-server-card-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Available Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `generate_card` | Generate a `.well-known/mcp-server-card.json` for any MCP server |
| `validate_card` | Validate a server card against the JSON schema |
| `discover` | Try to discover a server card from a URL via `.well-known` |
| `search` | Search indexed server ca…
