Publish to the MCP Registry (official)

The official MCP Registry stores metadata only, so you must publish the package to npm first.

Publish to npm (once):

npm adduser npm publish --access public

Publish metadata to the MCP Registry:

brew install mcp-publisher mcp-publisher login github mcp-publisher publish

Notes:

package.json includes mcpName and server.json uses the same name (required for verification).

If you change the version, bump it in both package.json and server.json (and republish to npm).
