remote -registry

The remote registry MCP server provides a central registry for MCP servers within the Portal Labs infrastructure. It is designed to host and serve MCP-based registries in a self-service manner, enabling discovery and management of MCP servers. Users can connect to the registry to retrieve available MCP server definitions and their configurations, enabling streamlined deployment and integration into your MCP workflows.

To operate, start the registry server (as configured in your environment) and interact with its exposed endpoints to list, query, or fetch MCP server configurations. The registry is intended to be consumed by MCP tooling and orchestrators that rely on a centralized source of MCP server metadata for deployment and management.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js installed (v14+ recommended) or Docker if running in a containerized environment
• Access to the repository containing the registry server code

Installation steps (example for Node.js-based setup):

1. Clone the repository containing the remote registry MCP server definitions.
2. Navigate to the registry directory.
3. Install dependencies:

npm install

4. Configure environment variables as needed (see additional notes for details).
5. Start the registry server:

node path/to/registry-server.js

If you prefer Docker, obtain the appropriate image and run:

docker run -d --name remote-registry -p 8080:8080 your-registry-image

Verify the server is running by hitting the registry's health or root endpoint (e.g., http://localhost:8080/health).

This README references an upgraded registry designed for self-service. For full details, consult the linked repository at the remote MCP servers project. Common considerations:

• Ensure network access to the registry endpoint for your MCP tooling.
• Configure authentication if the registry requires access control.
• Check environment-specific configuration such as host, port, and any feature flags.
• If migrating from an older registry, review migration notes in the target repository to understand changes in API surface or data formats.
