Mcp directory readiness

Skill mickolasjae/mick-applied-ai-toolkit/skills/mcp-directory-readiness

Use when preparing an MCP server for submission to the Anthropic MCP Directory. Audits tool annotations, OAuth/HTTPS posture, and generates a gap list + pre-filled submission form data. Triggers on: 'submit to Anthropic Directory', 'MCP submission', 'audit my MCP server', 'is my MCP ready for the directory', 'directory submission checklist'.From its SKILL.md

mcp-directory-readiness

Audits an MCP server against the 9 verified Anthropic MCP Directory submission requirements (sources: claude.com/docs/connectors/building/submission + support.claude.com Software Directory Policy article; corrected 2026-06-02). Produces a gap list, mechanical auto-fixes where possible, and a pre-filled submission form.

When to use

  • "Submit to Anthropic Directory" / "MCP submission"
  • "Audit my MCP server" / "Is my MCP ready for the directory"
  • "Directory submission checklist"
  • Before pasting a connector into https://clau.de/mcp-directory-submission

Workflow

1. Locate the server source

If not in the current working directory, ask once: "What's the path to the MCP server repo?" Default to cwd if user confirms. Identify:

  • Transport: remote streamable-HTTP vs local stdio (determines privacy-policy requirement)
  • Tool registration file (typically server.ts, index.ts, tools/index.ts, or wherever tools/list is handled)

2. Run the audit

Walk the 9 requirements in requirements.md. For each, run the corresponding check from audit-checklist.md. The highest-leverage checks (in order):

  1. Tool annotations — every tool needs title AND one of readOnlyHint|destructiveHint. ~30% of rejections.
  2. manifest.json present at v0.2+ with privacy_policies array. Newly required as of 2026 — pre-2026 skill versions missed this.
  3. No stub tools — README must not advertise "v0.X scaffold, N tools stubbed." Reviewers smoke-test.
  4. OAuth 2.1 + claude.com callback — both claude.ai AND claude.com redirect URIs must be allowlisted.

For each gap, classify as:

  • Auto-fix (mechanical): missing title, missing hint annotation, missing manifest.json, missing README Privacy Policy section, http:// in config → surface the exact edit
  • TODO (judgment-call): which tools are destructive vs read-only, OAuth scope wording, stub-tool wiring → surface as a question for the user

For each gap, classify as:

  • Auto-fix (mechanical): missing title, missing hint annotation, http:// in config → surface the exact edit
  • TODO (judgment-call): which tools are destructive vs read-only, OAuth scope wording, privacy-policy content → surface as a question for the user

3. Generate the submission form draft

Use submission-form-template.md. Pre-fill every field that can be inferred from the codebase (server name, tool list, transport URL, OAuth metadata from .well-known/oauth-authorization-server). Leave [ASK USER] markers on judgment-call fields.

4. Surface submission URLs

Supporting files

  • requirements.md — the 9 verified requirements with rationale (corrected 2026-06-02)
  • audit-checklist.md — concrete grep/file/curl checks per requirement, includes pre-submission smoke-test commands
  • submission-form-template.md — pre-fill template with manifest.json, privacy-policy, OAuth allowlist fields

Output format

Reply with:

  1. Gap list (P0 blockers / P1 nice-to-haves) — table
  2. Auto-fix patches — exact edits, grouped by file
  3. TODO questions — one-shot list for the user
  4. Submission draft — filled template, ready to paste into the form
