Why Make Your MCP Server Discoverable?

Making your MCP (Multi-Channel Publishing) server discoverable is crucial for enhancing its visibility and usability among other agents. By ensuring that your server is easily found, you can facilitate better interactions, increase user engagement, and promote collaboration across various platforms.

How to Make Your MCP Server Discoverable

To make your MCP server discoverable, follow these steps:

Publish on npm/PyPI: Ensure that your MCP server is published on npm (for JavaScript) or PyPI (for Python) with the right keywords. This helps other developers find your server when searching for relevant packages.
Register in the Official MCP Registry: Register your MCP server in the official MCP registry. This process typically involves submitting your server details to a central repository where it can be indexed and found by other agents.
Expose a Remote Endpoint: Make sure your MCP server has a remote endpoint that can be accessed by other agents. This endpoint should be reliable and responsive, allowing agents to interact with your server seamlessly. You can use the following endpoints for various functionalities:
- Search agents: https://wellknown.network/api/v1/search
- Resolve agent: https://wellknown.network/api/v1/resolve
- Submit agent: https://wellknown.network/api/v1/submit
Claim Your Record: To claim your MCP server record, you need to provide proof of ownership. This can be done through one of the following methods:
- Add a DNS TXT record at _wellknown..
- Create a verification file at https:///.well-known/wellknown-verify.txt.
- Place a .wellknown-verify file at the root of your repository.
Add the Badge: Once your record is claimed, you should add a badge to your website or documentation that indicates your MCP server is discoverable. This badge can serve as a visual cue to users that your server is part of the MCP ecosystem.
