Eligibility
Who Awesome MCP Servers accepts
You need
A public repository, because the list format is a server name linked to its repo and every entry in it is one
A GitHub account to fork from and open the pull request with
A category the server honestly belongs in, from the fifty-odd headings already there
You'll be rejected if
A hosted server with no public repository: there is nowhere for the required link to point
A client, a framework or a directory rather than a server, each of which has its own list

What you actually get
One line in the list every MCP directory scrapes, which is the real payoff: the README names glama.ai/mcp/servers as its web front end, so a merge tends to carry you into the downstream directories too. The link itself is not link equity, because GitHub rewrites every external anchor in a rendered README with rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow".
How to submit to Awesome MCP Servers
1
Find your category first
The README carries about fifty headings, from Aggregators to Workplace and Productivity. Read the one-line description under the heading and pick where a stranger would look for you, not where you would like to be.
2
Fork and branch
Fork the repository, branch off main, and edit README.md directly. There is no generator and no data file: the list is the README.
3
Write the line in their format
Repository path as the link text, then the legend emoji, then a dash and a description. The legend is at the top of the README: language, cloud or local, and which operating systems it runs on.
4
Open the pull request
One server per pull request, one line per server. If the pull request was written by an agent rather than by hand, CONTRIBUTING asks you to end the title with a robot marker so it can be merged on the fast lane.

A public repository URL
A one-line description of what the server does
The legend emoji for language, cloud or local, and operating system
An install command, which most recent entries carry at the end of the descriptionoptional
Gotchas
There are over three thousand pull requests open against this repository. Whatever the queue looks like when you open yours, plan on the listing not existing for a while and do not build a launch around it.
Every entry links to a repository, so a hosted server with nothing on GitHub cannot be listed as it stands. The fix is small: a separate public repo holding a README and the connection details, not your product's source.
GitHub rewrites external links in a rendered README as nofollow, so this is worth doing for the scrapers and the readers rather than for the link.
