Question 1

What data structure does the registry use?

Accepted Answer

Each server entry requires a unique `key`, a `command` (e.g. `npx`, `uvx`), and `args`. Optional fields include `name`, `env`, `homepage`, and a `description`. Parameter placeholders like `{{paramName@type::description}}` allow user‑provided input.

Question 2

How do I add a server to the registry?

Accepted Answer

Fork the repository, edit `public/servers.json` to add a server object following the schema, keep keys consistently ordered, and open a pull request with links to the project homepage or docs.

Question 3

What are the runtime requirements to run the directory locally?

Accepted Answer

Node.js 18+ and npm (or a compatible package manager). Then run `npm install` and `npm run dev`; for production use `npm run build && npm run start`.

Question 4

What credentials does it need?

Accepted Answer

It reads `ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
