# How to submit an MCP server to awesome-mcp-servers

By [Jonah Ease](https://manycp.com/about) Published 1 Oct 2026 Last checked 1 Oct 2026

This is a list in a README, and the way in is a pull request that adds one line. What decides whether it is merged is mostly a bot: a workflow checks every pull request for a Glama badge, a permitted emoji, a full `owner/repo` name and a GitHub link, and labels it with the result[3]. Its labels are the checklist.

## Is the list for your server?

The list is for servers with a public GitHub repository that you install and run yourself. A hosted, remote-only server belongs in the sibling list, awesome-remote-mcp-servers[1] [2]. The bot posts that redirect on any entry whose link is not a `github.com` URL[3]. That sibling list is a queue of its own: [422 pull requests](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen) were open on 2 Oct 2026 [7].

## The line you add

One entry, in the shape the bot checks (example names)

```
- [example-user/weather-mcp](https://github.com/example-user/weather-mcp) [![example-user/weather-mcp MCP server](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/example-user/weather-mcp/badges/score.svg)](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/example-user/weather-mcp) 📇 ☁️ 🍎 🪟 🐧 - Weather forecasts and alerts for any city.
```

1. The name in full as `owner/repo`, linked to the repository. A bare repo name fails[3].
2. The Glama score badge, then at least one permitted emoji: language, local or cloud scope, and operating system[3].
3. A short description of what the server does, in the right category, alphabetical within it[1].

The badge needs a Glama listing first; see [Glama's page](https://manycp.com/directories/glama) for what that takes. The bot only asks that the server has been evaluated and shows a quality score[3].

## The labels the bot applies

| Label | Meaning | Open on 1 Oct 2026 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| missing-glama | No Glama score badge on the new entry | [1,289](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3Amissing-glama) |
| duplicate | The repository link is already in the README | [210](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3Aduplicate) |
| missing-emoji | No permitted emoji, or one that is not on the list | [69](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3Amissing-emoji) |
| invalid-name | Name not in owner/repo form | [52](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3Ainvalid-name) |
| non-github-url | A link outside GitHub | [99](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3Anon-github-url) |

Label meanings from the workflow[3]; counts from GitHub's search on 1 Oct 2026 [5] [6]. The other three counts use the same query with the label swapped.

## By hand

- Fork the repository, add the line, open the pull request titled for the server, and read the bot's comment when it arrives. The workflow runs again when the pull request is edited or updated, so a fix is a push to the same branch[3].
- CONTRIBUTING.md also carries a note for automated agents: a separate, streamlined merge route, opted into with three robot emoji at the end of the pull request title[1]. I did not test it and cannot say how it behaves.
- After a merge, the bot comments with a welcome and offers a flair in the project's Discord.

## Current status, 1 Oct 2026

On 2 Oct 2026, [2,724 pull requests](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen) were open. GitHub lists [822 merged](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+merged%3A2026-09-01..2026-10-01) between 1 Sept and 1 Oct 2026[4] [8], so merges are happening alongside the queue.

## How long merges took

In the 90 days to 2 Oct 2026, 1501 outside pull requests merged here; the typical one was merged [9.9 days](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged) after it was opened. The middle half took 4.0 days to 22 days.

Measured 2 Oct 2026. Pull requests merged on each list's GitHub repo, timed from opened to merged, read from GitHub's REST pulls list. Bot accounts ([bot]), the repo's owners, members and collaborators, and pull requests from a branch inside the list's own repo are left out. A past figure, not a promise.
