mcp publish

# Publish with tags
mcp publish --tag latest --tag v1.0.0

Registry API

List Servers

javascript
const response = await fetch('https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/api/servers');
const servers = await response.json();

Get Server Details

javascript
const response = await fetch('https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/api/servers/@mongodb/mcp-server');
const server = await response.json();

Search Servers

javascript
const response = await fetch('https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/api/servers/search?q=database');
const results = await response.json();

Building Custom MCP Servers

1. Template Generator

bash
# Create new MCP server from template
npx create-mcp-server my-custom-server

# Choose template:
# - Basic server
# - Database server
# - API server
# - File server

2. Server Generator CLI

typescript
// MCP Server Generator
class MCPServerGenerator {
  async generateServer(options: {
    name: string;
    template: 'basic' | 'database' | 'api' | 'file';
    language: 'typescript' | 'javascript' | 'python';
    features: string[];
  }) {
    const templatePath = this.getTemplatePath(options.template);
    const targetPath = `./${options.name}`;
    
    // Copy template
    await this.copyTemplate(templatePath, targetPath);
    
    // Customize based on options
    await this.customizeServer(targetPath, options);
    
    // Install dependencies
    await this.installDependencies(targetPath);
    
    // Generate configuration
    await this.generateConfig(targetPath);
  }
}

3. Server SDK

typescript
// MCP Server SDK
import { MCPServerBuilder } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk';

const server = new MCPServerBuilder()
  .name('my-custom-server')
  .version('1.0.0')
  .description('Custom MCP server for specific use case')
  .addTool('custom_operation', {
    description: 'Perform custom operation',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        input: { type: 'string' }
      }
    }
  })
  .addResource('custom_data', {
    uri: 'custom://data',
    name: 'Custom Data',
    description: 'Custom data resource'
  })
  .addPrompt('custom_analysis', {
    name: 'custom_analysis',
    description: 'Analyze custom data'
  })
  .build();

Integration Patterns

1. Multi-Server Architecture

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "database": {
      "command": "mongodb-mcp-server",
      "args": ["--connection-string", "${DATABASE_URL}"]
    },
    "storage": {
      "command": "s3-mcp-server",
      "args": ["--bucket", "my-bucket"],
      "env": {
        "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}",
        "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}"
      }
    },
    "notifications": {
      "command": "slack-mcp-server",
      "args": ["--token", "${SLACK_TOKEN}"]
    },
    "orchestrator": {
      "command": "orchestrator-mcp-server",
      "args": ["--config", "orchestrator.json"]
    }
  }
}

2. Server Composition

typescript
// Server that composes other servers
class OrchestratorMCPServer {
  private servers: Map<string, MCPServer> = new Map();

  async initialize() {
    // Initialize child servers
    this.servers.set('database', new DatabaseMCPServer());
    this.servers.set('storage', new StorageMCPServer());
    this.servers.set('notifications', new NotificationMCPServer());
  }

  async callTool(name: string, args: any) {
    // Route to appropriate server
    if (name.startsWith('db_')) {
      return await this.servers.get('database').callTool(name, args);
    } else if (name.startsWith('storage_')) {
      return await this.servers.get('storage').callTool(name, args);
    } else if (name.startsWith('notify_')) {
      return await this.servers.get('notifications').callTool(name, args);
    } else {
      // Handle composed operations
      return await this.handleComposedOperation(name, args);
    }
  }

  private async handleComposedOperation(name: string, args: any) {
    switch (name) {
      case 'backup_database':
        // Compose multiple server operations
        const data = await this.servers.get('database').callTool('export_data', args);
        const backup = await this.servers.get('storage').callTool('upload_file', {
          data: data.content,
          path: `backups/backup-${Date.now()}.json`
        });
        await this.servers.get('notifications').callTool('send_message', {
          message: `Database backup completed: ${backup.url}`
        });
        return backup;
    }
  }
}

3. Server Federation

typescript
// Federation across multiple instances
class FederationMCPServer {
  private instances: Map<string, RemoteMCPServer> = new Map();

  async addInstance(name: string, url: string, credentials: any) {
    const instance = new RemoteMCPServer(url, credentials);
    await instance.connect();
    this.instances.set(name, instance);
  }

  async discoverTools(): Promise<Tool[]> {
    const allTools: Tool[] = [];
    
    for (const [name, instance] of this.instances) {
      const tools = await instance.listTools();
      allTools.push(...tools.tools.map(tool => ({
        ...tool,
        name: `${name}_${tool.name}`
      })));
    }
    
    return allTools;
  }

  async callTool(name: string, args: any) {
    const [instanceName, toolName] = name.split('_', 2);
    const instance = this.instances.get(instanceName);
    
    if (!instance) {
      throw new Error(`Instance not found: ${instanceName}`);
    }
    
    return await instance.callTool(toolName, args);
  }
}
