MCP Registry shifts to API-based system, streamlining server publishing

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) registry has transitioned from a GitHub PR-based system to a dedicated API service at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io. This new system utilizes a CLI tool, mcp-publisher, for publishing server metadata, which is stored alongside package pointers on platforms like npm. While the new process is significantly faster than the old method, users may encounter initial hurdles with namespace verification and version alignment between package manifests and the registry's server.json file.
