MCP Server Registry Skill
When to Use
- When the user wants to find new MCP servers to extend agent capabilities.
- When researching available integrations for specific tools (e.g., Slack, GitHub, Postgres).
- To verify the official status or source of an MCP server.
Reference
Official MCP Registry
Instructions
1. Browse Registry
- Visit the registry to search for servers by category or keyword.
- Prioritize "Official" or "Verified" servers for production environments.
2. Integration Pattern
When adding a server from the registry:
- Check the
README of the specific server for configuration requirements (API keys, environment variables).
- Use the
mcp_config pattern if using a desktop client (Cursor, Claude Desktop).
- For agentic usage (like Antigravity), ensure the server is added to the active MCP server list.
3. Verification
- Ensure the server URL is correct.
- Validate that the server supports the versions of the tools you are using.
- Connection test passes after configuration.
Quality Gates
- Server URL is valid and reachable.
- Required environment variables are identified and documented in
.env.
- Connection test passes after configuration.
