MCP Registry Design Principles

These are the core constraints that guide the design of the MCP Registry. They are not exhaustive, but they are the most important principles that we will use to evaluate design decisions.

1. Single Source of Truth

The registry serves as the authoritative metadata repository for publicly-available MCP servers, both locally-run and remote, open source and closed source. Server creators publish once, and all consumers (MCP clients, aggregators, etc.) reference the same canonical data.

2. Minimal Operational Burden

3. Vendor Neutrality

4. Meets Industry Security Standards

6. Reusable, Extensible Shapes; Not Infrastructure
