Discussion Topic

I would like to find a way to handle an MCP catalog where there is a clear definition what is community based MCPs and what official based MCPs

There is an option for that? Also, what API is recommended to use for getting all the listed MCPs?

Thanks!

Hi @MatanYemini - in case you didn't get an answer already elsewhere:

The MCP registry provides APIs to look up servers that have been published there:

• Live API: https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers
• API docs: https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/docs

The registry doesn't have an explicit "official" vs "community" flag but the server names use reverse-DNS format, which gives you clues about who owns the server, for example:

• io.modelcontextprotocol/example — from the official MCP organization
• io.github.domdomegg/my-server — from community member via GitHub
• me.adamjones/server — from community member via domain verification

Not all servers have been registered there yet since its still fairly new. Note that this Readme has different sections for listing 'Official' vs 'Community' servers, but its been deprecated in favor of the registry going forward.

Hope that helps.
