mcp-registry-client 0.1.0

A native MCP Server that searches a global registry of MCP tools.

MCP Registry Client

The MCP Registry Client is a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows your AI agents (like Claude Desktop) to programmatically search, discover, and install other MCP servers.

It implements the "Inception Protocol" — using an MCP tool to find MCP tools.

Installation

You can install and run this server directly via uvx (recommended) or npx:

Using Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "search_mcp_registry": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-registry-client"]
    }
  }
}

Features

• Agentic Discovery: Claude can automatically search the registry when you ask "Do you have a tool to search the web?" or "Connect to my Postgres database."
• Auto-Installation Commands: The registry provides the exact uvx or npx commands required to install the discovered servers.

Configuration (Optional)

This client connects to the public beta of the MCP Registry backend by default. If you host your own backend or have a premium API key, you can override the defaults using environment variables:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "search_mcp_registry": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-registry-client"],
      "env": {
        "REGISTRY_API_URL": "https://your-custom-api.com/v1/tools",
        "REGISTRY_API_KEY": "your_personal_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}
