Find MCP Directories

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to find
• Shortlist directories and registries where they can submit
• List an MCP server (Model Context Protocol server) — to get backlinks
• Referral traffic

Example prompts

• “where do I list my MCP server”
• “best MCP directories”
• “MCP registries to submit to”
• “/find-mcp-directories”

Requirements

• A credential in SERVICEGRAPH_API_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(curl:*), mcp__servicegraph__list_fields, mcp__servicegraph__list_field_values, mcp__servicegraph__check_filter, mcp__servicegraph__translate_intent, mcp__servicegraph__search_dataset, mcp__servicegraph__get_row, mcp__servicegraph__unlock_rows, mcp__servicegraph__get_credit_balance

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Pick the call path — the ServiceGraph MCP tools if loaded, otherwise the
2. 2GET /v1/datasets/product_directory/fields?include_values=1 — confirm the
3. 3Build the filter (Filter DSL below) and validate it with
4. 4GET /v1/datasets/product_directory/search — present the free brief cards and
5. 5Quote the unlock cost (10 credits per row, 30-day TTL) and get an explicit
6. 6POST /v1/datasets/product_directory/unlocks with the chosen apexes; report the
7. 7GET /v1/me/credits to report the remaining balance when asked.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash(curl:*)
  • mcp__servicegraph__list_fields
  • mcp__servicegraph__list_field_values
  • mcp__servicegraph__check_filter
  • mcp__servicegraph__translate_intent
  • mcp__servicegraph__search_dataset
  • mcp__servicegraph__get_row
  • mcp__servicegraph__unlock_rows
  • mcp__servicegraph__get_credit_balance

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • api.servicegraph.co
  • mcp.servicegraph.co

  Also links to:

  • servicegraph.co
  • github.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • SERVICEGRAPH_API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Find MCP Directories loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 251 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,281 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~251

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~3.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:61

  ICEGRAPH_API_KEY` in the environment or `.env.local` for the REST

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:114

  read `.env*` into context; route authed calls through a shell wrapper.

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:116

  e call** through a wrapper that sources `.env.local`:

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:119

  ( set -a; [ -f .env.local ] && . ./.env.local; set +a;

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:127

  and add `SERVICEGRAPH_API_KEY=vk_…` to `.env.local` (or export it). Tell me

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

find-mcp-directories

description

Use whenever the user wants to find, rank, or shortlist directories and registries where they can submit or list an MCP server (Model Context Protocol server) — to get backlinks, referral traffic, and discovery by agent builders. Triggers on "where do I list my MCP server", "best MCP directories", "MCP registries to submit to", "get my MCP server discovered", or "pull submission details for these MCP-directory domains", even when described indirectly (we built an MCP server, where do we publish it). Drives the ServiceGraph API (api.servicegraph.co) — a catalog of 1,000+ product directories enriched with Domain Rating, backlinks, and organic traffic. Defer to find-ai-directories for general AI-tool / AI-agent / agent-skill listings, and to find-product-directories for general SaaS/software launches. Skip building an MCP server or asking how MCP works (DIY), finding a firm to build one (use find-ai-consultancy / find-software-developer), and MCP link-building *services*.
