find-mcp-directories

find-mcp-directories is a skill for Claude Code from nostrband/ServiceGraph. It costs 218 tokens per session (2,904 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A directory-finding skill for locating and ranking places to list an MCP server. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a standard way for AI agents to connect to tools and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shortlist places where you can submit an MCP server, gain a backlink, and help agent builders discover it.
Why use it?
It helps you find relevant registries and directories instead of searching for submission sites manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

find-mcp-directories scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

- **Catalog is global, not US-only.** Don't refuse non-US asks.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

find-mcp-directories

Drive the ServiceGraph API (https://api.servicegraph.co) to find and rank directories and registries where a builder can list an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) via the product_directory dataset. The catalog has 1,000+ directories; ~20 are dedicated MCP registries (e.g. registry.modelcontextprotocol.io, smithery.ai, mcp.so, glama.ai, pulsemcp.com), each enriched with Domain Rating (dr), backlinks, and organic traffic.

This is a "where to publish / where to get backlinks" skill, not a "who to hire" skill. Each row is a registry you submit to, not a firm and not a server. The payoff is a backlink from a high-authority domain (SEO) plus discovery by agent builders browsing for servers.

Any HTTP client works (curl, fetch, requests). Examples below use curl.

Sibling skills — defer when the niche is broader

  • General AI tools / AI agents / agent skills ("where to list my AI tool", "agent-skills directories") → find-ai-directories. (Several registries list MCP servers and skills/tools — if the artifact is specifically an MCP server, this skill is the right pick.)
  • General SaaS / software / app launch ("Product Hunt alternatives") → find-product-directories.

MCP server (preferred for authed calls)

If your harness has the ServiceGraph MCP server loaded (tool names contain servicegraph), prefer those tools — credentials stay in the harness sandbox via OAuth 2.1 + PKCE, no token in LLM context. Otherwise use the REST flow.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

find-mcp-directories is a skill published in the GitHub repository nostrband/ServiceGraph (62 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 218 tokens to every session and 2,904 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (tells the agent never to refuse, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
