# How to submit an MCP server to Goose extensions By [Jonah Ease](https://manycp.com/about) Published 1 Oct 2026 Last checked 1 Oct 2026 Goose's extension directory used to take pull requests that added a line to a JSON file. It does not any more. On 30 July 2026 a maintainer announced that the project was retiring its own list of MCP servers in favour of the official MCP Registry, and that new contributions were halted[1]. This page is short because the route is. The useful part is what to do instead. ## What the maintainers said - New contributions to the Goose registry are stopped. The announcement asks people not to open pull requests adding servers, and says they will not be merged[1]. - For authors, the instruction is to publish to the official MCP Registry in its `server.json` format. Goose plans one-click install from that format and then to replace the extensions page in its docs[1]. - The repository's documentation guide repeats it: do not add new third-party servers to `static/servers.json`, and do not write server-specific tutorials just to support a directory submission[2]. ## What the file still holds `servers.json` still exists and existing entries may be maintained or migrated[2]. On 1 Oct 2026 it listed 57 entries. Eleven of them are remote, with a `url` and a `streamable-http` type, and the other 46 start a local command[3]. That matters for one old assumption: the list was never only for servers you run on your own machine. ## What happened to pull requests after the announcement Two pull requests that added a server to the directory were closed unmerged in September, after the announcement. On 9 Sept 2026 a maintainer replied to one with a message that the project had decided to stop accepting new entries and a link to the announcement[4]. On 14 Sept 2026 the author of another closed their own pull request after reading the guide, noting that the server was already published in the official registry, so nothing further was needed[5]. If you opened a pull request before reading any of this, there is nothing to fix in the pull request itself. The format of the entry was never the problem. ## The route that replaces it Publish to the official registry with the command-line publisher, a `server.json` that validates, and proof that you own the name[6]. The step-by-step is on [the official registry's page](https://manycp.com/directories/official-mcp-registry). Goose's note says that once its support lands, your server will appear in its doc pages automatically[1]. It does not say when. Until then, the entries in the file show the two shapes Goose understands: a command with its environment variables, or a Streamable HTTP address[3]. Put whichever fits your server in your README, so a Goose user has something to copy. ## By hand, nothing to submit There is no form to fill in and no pull request to open for Goose today, so there is no by-hand route to describe. The by-hand work is the registry publish above, and it serves every client that reads the registry, not just this one. ## Current status, 1 Oct 2026 Closed to new entries since 30 July 2026. The announcement had no replies and gives no reopening date, and the documentation guide still carried the same instruction[1] [2]. ## Sources 1.
