Your Idea

Please allow agents to discover and download MCP tools on demand

Please add a set of MCP registries / servers to bootstrap

Please create a lightweight MCP registry where one can search for any given implementation. For instance, it could point to:

• a Git repository with a manifest file/default command files which can bootstrap and run on a given machine.
• a local command
• an endpoint with said MCP support

Scope

• Protocol Specification
• SDK Features
• Documentation
• Developer Experience
• Other

If the proposal in modelcontextprotocol/discussions/84 is incorporated, it could facilitate clients to automatically add MCP servers.
