The GitHub MCP Registry: The Fastest Way to Discover MCP Servers (github.blog)

GitHub has launched the MCP Registry, a centralized directory for discovering MCP servers used to connect AI agents to developer tools. The registry curates MCP servers (each linked to its GitHub repo) from partners and the open-source community, adds VS Code discoverability with one‑click installation, and ranks entries by GitHub stars and community activity. It works with GitHub Copilot and any MCP-compatible host and already includes offerings from Figma, Postman, HashiCorp (Terraform), Dynatrace and the Remote GitHub MCP Server (now GA), making it easier to plug context-rich services—design systems, APIs, infra tooling, and repo/PR context—into agentic workflows. Technically and ecosystem-wise, the MCP Registry reduces fragmentation, duplication, and security friction by consolidating metadata and verification signals and by linking each server to source repos for transparent setup and auditing. GitHub is coordinating with Anthropic and the MCP Steering Committee to sync an open-source OSS MCP Community Registry so self-published servers auto-appear in GitHub’s registry, enabling scalable contributions and standardized quality signals. For developers and platform builders, this lowers discovery costs, accelerates assembly of multi-step agent workflows, and improves interoperability—turning scattered MCP endpoints into a searchable, composable layer for production-ready AI toolchains.
