Feature · Registry

The Official MCP Registry, inside the app.

Search every active server in the registry.modelcontextprotocol.io catalogue without ever opening a browser. MCPOrbit caches results locally, supports lazy pagination, and adds new sources as the ecosystem grows.

Read before you install

From search result to the full registry entry.

Find a server and open it. MCPOrbit shows what the registry knows — the description, the version, the transports it speaks, and whether it wants auth — so you can read exactly what a server is before you set it up. Adding it is a separate step in the connection form.

  • Paged results — a Load more button fetches the next page
  • Search as you type, plus a picker for the active registry
  • Pages cached in memory for 90 seconds
  • Manual refresh on any source

Pluggable adapters

One contract. Every kind of registry.

MCPOrbit's registry layer is adapter-based. Two adapters ship out of the box — the Official Registry and Smithery's 11,000+ server index — and both are enabled by default. Each adapter exposes the same UI surface: search, paginate, add.

  • Cross-source search
  • Toggleable sources in settings
  • One adapter contract for the ecosystem
  • Server Cards for any domain you control

Registry FAQ

Is registry data live?

Close to it. Each page of results is cached in memory for 90 seconds, and you can refresh manually at any time.

Can I write my own adapter?

MCPOrbit ships as a signed application and its source is not published, so writing an adapter is not a procedure you can follow against the download. How registry adapters work explains what the layer does instead.

Will MCPOrbit ever charge to list a server?

No. Listing is free, will always be free, and is fully governed by the upstream registry's policies.
