Introduction
The GitHub MCP Registry is the fastest and safest way to discover MCP servers, transforming how developers and companies access AI tools. With a centralized platform, finding MCP servers becomes simple, quick, and secure.
Context
Until now, discovering MCP servers was fragmented: scattered repositories, community threads, and multiple registries made the process slow and complex. Developers struggled to connect AI agents to development tools, while MCP server creators faced repetitive publishing and setup questions.
Direct definition
The GitHub MCP Registry is a centralized directory that streamlines the search, installation, and use of MCP servers for AI agents and compatible tools.
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI agents and tools to communicate in a modular, extensible way. MCP lets agents fetch fresh context, interact with external systems, and integrate complex workflows.
GitHub MCP Registry Features
- One-click installation from VS Code
- Servers sorted by popularity and community activity
- Works with GitHub Copilot and any MCP-compatible host
- Curated directory with partner and open source contributions
Direct snippet
The Registry offers instant installation, transparency, and interoperability for all MCP tools.
Collaboration and Open Ecosystem
The platform is built with partners like Figma, Postman, and Anthropic, ensuring quality and security. Developers can self-publish MCP servers to the OSS MCP Community Registry, which integrates with GitHub for unified discovery.
"With GitHub MCP Registry, developers can easily bring Figma context into Copilot, speeding up design-to-code workflows."
Anna Kohnen, VP Business Development, Figma
"The Registry lets developers access the entire Postman platform from coding assistants, bridging code, docs, and execution."
Bajali Raghavan, Head of Engineering, Postman
Practical Benefits
- Reduced security risks
- Fast access to trusted servers
- Transparent, verified contributions
- Accelerated AI innovation
Conclusion
The GitHub MCP Registry marks the start of a more open, interoperable, and secure AI ecosystem. Developers and companies can now find, install, and integrate MCP servers easily, powering advanced agentic workflows.
