GitHub has launched an MCP Registry to supply builders with a curated listing of MCP servers.
“Should you’ve tried connecting AI brokers to your growth instruments, the ache: MCP servers scattered throughout quite a few registries, random repos, buried in neighborhood threads — making discovery sluggish and stuffed with friction with out a central place to go. In the meantime, MCP server creators are worn out from publishing to a number of locations and answering the identical setup questions repeatedly,” GitHub wrote in a weblog submit.
Every server within the Registry is related to its personal GitHub repository, and they are often sorted by GitHub stars and neighborhood exercise.
In response to GitHub, this backing builds belief in particular MCP servers, resulting in a more healthy general AI ecosystem.
GitHub’s personal just lately launched MCP server is included within the repository. It permits brokers to attach with content material in GitHub repositories, points, and pull requests.
The corporate additionally mentioned that it has been working with Anthropic—creator of MCP—to create an open supply registry that integrates with this one introduced at the moment. That mission is the OSS MCP Group Registry, and any server revealed there’ll mechanically present up in GitHub’s MCP Registry. In response to the corporate, this collaboration will scale back duplication throughout registries, floor clear metadata, and allow contribution at scale.
“Along with the open supply neighborhood, Anthropic, and the MCP Steering Committee, we’re constructing an open ecosystem the place discovering the correct AI functionality is so simple as looking GitHub. The GitHub MCP Registry is your quickest path from concept to integration, and the muse for a more healthy, extra interoperable AI toolchain,” Anthropic wrote.
“Whether or not you’re constructing with GitHub Copilot, brokers, or any AI instrument that speaks MCP, that is the place to seek out what you want. With GitHub already dwelling to most MCP servers, the MCP Registry makes them dramatically simpler to find, discover, and use — serving to builders discover the correct instruments quicker and contribute to a extra open, interoperable ecosystem,” GitHub wrote.
