Claims that cite it

• The official MCP registry takes a server.json through mcp-publisher. Names under io.github.* need GitHub login; a domain name is proved by a DNS TXT record or a /.well-known/mcp-registry-auth file. The description is capped at 100 characters in the schema, and published versions are immutable, so each version can be published once. The registry is described as official and in preview.
