The definitive public MCP registry for discovering AI tools

March 17, 2026 Building a Public MCP Registry (And Why This Problem Matters)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on something called:
https://publicmcpregistry.com/

It’s a public registry for MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.

The Problem I Noticed

While experimenting with AI agents, I kept running into the same issue:

There’s no central place to discover MCP tools.

Everything is scattered:

  • GitHub repos

  • Docs

  • Random blog posts

Developers are literally searching:

  • “mcp registry”

  • “mcp servers registry list”

  • “open source mcp registry”

What I Built

A simple platform where you can:

  • Browse MCP servers

  • Explore use cases (SEO, automation, dev tools)

  • Discover open source MCP tools

Why I Think This Matters

If MCP becomes standard, then:

  • Registries become infrastructure

  • Discovery becomes critical

  • Trust becomes a big factor

What I’m Trying to Figure Out

  • Should this stay fully public or include private registries?

  • What features would make this actually useful long-term?

  • Is curation more important than scale?

Would love feedback from anyone building in AI or dev tooling.
