Manage registries

A registry is a named collection of one or more sources. It's the catalog audience that users select from in the MCP Servers view. This guide covers how to manage registries through the Cloud UI. You need the manageRegistries role.

View registries​

Open Registries in the navigation bar. The list shows the registries you can manage. Use the search box to filter by name.

Create a registry​

  1. Click Add a registry.
  2. Enter a Registry name.
  3. Under Registry sources, select the sources this registry includes. A registry can combine multiple sources.
  4. Optionally add Claims to control which users can see and access the registry. Claims operate in default-deny mode: a registry with no claims is visible only to superAdmin users.
  5. Click Save.

Registry and source claims​

Claims attach to both registries and sources, and they compose. Claims are required on a source but optional on a registry. A common pattern is to apply a broad claim at the registry layer and finer-grained claims at the source layer, so a single registry can present different contents to different roles. Because registry claims are default-deny, a registry left with no claims is visible only to superAdmin users.

Edit a registry​

  1. Open the registry's actions menu and select Edit registry.
  2. Update the included sources or claims. The registry name can't be changed.
  3. Click Save to apply the changes.
note

Config-managed registries are read-only. Their actions menu shows View registry instead of Edit registry.

Delete a registry​

  1. Open the registry's actions menu and select Delete registry.
  2. Confirm the deletion in the dialog.

Deleting a registry doesn't delete the underlying entries. They remain available in their sources and in any other registries that include those sources. Config-managed registries can't be deleted from the Cloud UI.

View registry entries​

Select View entries from a registry's actions menu to see every entry the registry presents. Entries are grouped by server and labeled with the source they came from, and you can expand a server to see its earlier versions. Use the source filter to narrow the list to a single source.
