What you actually get
Eventually, a listing in a directory of MCP servers and clients alongside a use-case index, a statistics page, an API and a newsletter. Right now, nothing: their submit page says submissions and changes are paused while they rebuild the directory pipeline. The route that works is publishing to the Official MCP Registry, which they say they pick up automatically once they resume.
How to submit to PulseMCP
1
Check whether the pause has lifted
/submit renders a notice rather than a form: submissions and changes are paused while they overhaul their directory pipeline and listing management.
2
Publish to the Official MCP Registry instead
Their own advice, in their own words: that is the best first step even when they are not paused, and they pick it up automatically once they are back.
3
Come back for the use-case index
Submit use case is a separate route from Submit server/client, and it is worth checking whether that one is also paused.

Gotchas
Submissions are paused, and so are changes to existing listings, so a wrong or stale entry cannot be corrected either.
The pause notice says "until mid-August" without naming a year, and it was still up on 19 August 2026, so the date on the page is not a date you can plan around.
The route they recommend instead, the Official MCP Registry, is a different submission on a different site, so following their advice means leaving and doing something else.
