What you actually get
A server page in one of the larger MCP indexes, which claims 40,000 or so servers and also keeps an Agent Skills section and a chat. What a listing points at is a GitHub repository rather than a product site, which is what the whole submit flow is built around. Treat this as distribution to people wiring servers into Claude, Cursor and other clients rather than as a backlink: no followed outbound link to a product domain was found on the pages read, and the listings load client side.
How to submit to MCP Store
1
Sign in
/submit redirects to /auth/login, which offers GitHub and Google. Google creates the account on the first click and asks only for name and email.
2
Pick a lane
GitHub Repository is the quick submit and asks for nothing but the repository URL. Manual Entry is the long form.
3
Quick path
Paste the full repository URL in the format https://github.com/owner/repo and press Submit.
4
Manual path
MCP name, author, contact phone and a logo are all required. Below them sit an optional description, tags, a self-hosted server URL with custom headers, and a platform-hosted JSON config block.
5
Wait
There is a review, referred to on the form itself, but no duration is published.

Gotchas
The manual form requires a contact phone number so an admin can reach you during review, which is a piece of personal data most directories never ask for. The GitHub quick path avoids it entirely.
The Author field is prefilled from whatever your sign-in account is called, and it is printed as the maker, so a product-named Google account publishes the product as the person.
The two submission methods are tabs rather than steps, and the quick one is selected by default, so the long form and everything it demands is invisible until you switch to it.
Let your agent submit to MCP Store
Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the MCP Store playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.
