Submit Your MCP Server: Free Ways

How to submit your MCP server

The official route is the MCP Registry and its mcp-publisher tool. Steps below follow the official quickstart, read 2026-11-12. Registry status: preview.

Publish to the official registry

Make sure the server is public: an npm or PyPI package, a public image, or a public remote URL

Add the ownership marker (npm: mcpName in package.json, starting io.github.yourname/)

Install mcp-publisher (Homebrew or the release binary)

Run mcp-publisher init and edit server.json (description max 100 characters)

Run mcp-publisher login github, then mcp-publisher publish

Remote only servers can skip the package steps. The registry checks you own the name, not the remote URL. Private servers are not supported.

PulseMCP said on 2026-11-12 it is not taking new submissions and points to the official registry. Glama lists servers at its own Add Server button, its page does not state the terms. Check them there.
