The value after 'mcp-name:' must equal server.json `name`. Ref: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/registry/package-types","Ensure pyproject.toml points readme at that same README.md file so it is uploaded as the PyPI description — the registry reads the PyPI description, not your git repo.","Build and upload to PyPI (`python -m build` then `twine upload dist/*`). Confirm the rendered description on pypi.org actually contains the mcp-name string (view page source; HTML comments are allowed and stay hidden).","Create server.json with $schema https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/2025-12-11/server.schema.json, a matching `name`, and a packages[] entry: {\"registryType\": \"pypi\", \"identifier\": \"database-query-mcp\", \"version\": \"1.0.0\", \"transport\": {\"type\": \"stdio\"}}.","Optionally set \"runtimeHint\": \"uvx\" so clients know to launch via uvx.","Authenticate (`mcp-publisher login github` for io.github.* names) and run `mcp-publisher publish`.","Verify: curl \"https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=<your-server-name>\""],"gotchas":["Only the official PyPI index (https://pypi.org) is supported — TestPyPI and private indexes fail verification.","The mcp-name string must survive markdown rendering on PyPI.
