MCP Registry

The MCP Registry is a central place to list and discover MCP servers. It provides a curated collection of servers available to users based on their access permissions.

Registry Concepts​

Server Sources​

MCP server definitions can come from:

  • Official Obot repository: The default set from obot-platform/mcp-catalog
  • Custom Git repositories: Your own repositories containing server definitions (see MCP Server GitOps)
  • Direct entry: Servers added manually through the UI

Server Definitions​

Each server in the registry includes:

  • Name and Description: Human-readable identification
  • Runtime Configuration: How to run the server (npx, uvx, containerized, or remote)
  • Environment Variables: Required and optional configuration
  • Tool Preview: Description of available tools
  • Icon and Metadata: For display in the UI

Access Control​

Administrators and Power Users+ control which servers are visible to which users by assigning servers to registries and granting users access to those registries.

MCP Registry API​

Obot implements the MCP Registry specification, enabling MCP clients to programmatically discover available servers.
