publish-mcp-server

publish-mcp-server is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from t3ratech/mcp-session-bridge. It costs 97 tokens per session (1,576 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for submitting or updating an MCP server listing in public directories. MCP is a standard that lets coding agents connect to external tools and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to publish or update listings on Smithery, Glama, mcpservers.org, and the awesome-mcp-servers directory.
Why use it?
It helps complete directory submissions when a server is ready to announce or when an earlier submission did not go through.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/build-mcpb.mjs # a zip with manifest.json at its root.

Good fit Use it to publish or update listings on Smithery, Glama, mcpservers.org, and the awesome-mcp-servers directory.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 A, and why

publish-mcp-server scanned grade A with 0 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 10d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Listing an MCP server on the public directories

Each directory has its own form, its own limits, and at least one control that is easy to miss. Everything below was learned by submitting to it, including the mistakes.

Use the session_* tools from the T3rnel Session Bridge, in the browser the operator is already signed into. Most of these directories need an account, and several give no visible error without one.

The rule that costs the most time

A filled form is not a submission. After clicking submit, check what actually happened, in this order:

  1. Re-snapshot. If the form's fields are gone, it submitted. If they are still there holding your values, it did not.
  2. Look for problem on any field. session_snapshot reports invalid, problem, maxLength and required. problem carries the page's own message — "Description must be at most 400 characters" — from aria-errormessage, aria-describedby, or the browser's validation message.
  3. Check every control, not just the text inputs. A required <select> shows as role: combobox, tag: select. Filtering a snapshot to input and textarea hides it, and the form then fails for a reason that was on screen the whole time.
  4. If it is still unclear, session_screenshot and read the page. Do not infer. Twice this was concluded to be "probably needs a login" when the answer was a character limit and an unselected dropdown.

Never tick a paid option. Several of these forms offer expedited review for money, and at least one renders it beside the free submit. A checkbox's value is "on" whether or not it is ticked — read checked, which the snapshot reports, and leave paid tiers alone unless the operator has said otherwise in this session.

Smithery — https://smithery.ai

The web form at smithery.ai/servers/new takes an HTTPS URL only. A stdio server has no such URL, so that form cannot list one. Publish the bundle instead:

node scripts/build-mcpb.mjs                       # a zip with manifest.json at its root
smithery mcp publish ./build/<name>-<v>.mcpb -n <namespace>/<slug>

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
