   I developed a corresponding front-end page project based on ModelContextProtocol/Registry

   Hi, as I was frustrated with existing MCP registries browsers, and could not wait for the frontend to be out so I made a single page app for it using vite, react, and shadcn/ui: https://vemonet.github.io/mcp-registry/

   • directly hits the MCP registry API to enable doing basic search (using corsproxy.io for now, waiting for CORS to be enabled on the main registry)
   • extract and present in a user-friendly manner most informations available for each server (including packages and remote servers details, such as env var and headers)
   • "install in VSCode/Cursor" button for each package/remote of each server (one click install using the vscode:// or cursor:// protocols)
   • enable to build a "stack" (list) of MCP servers, that can then be exported all at once as VSCode mcp.json or Cursor config

   This may have been discussed elsewhere, but I'm wondering if, instead of having a UI for the official registry, we could have an easily discoverable page that links to downstream marketplaces (possibly based off of community projects).

   v0 plan

   I think it would be good to get out a minimal website to have something there. Something very scrappy, not to get attached to long term but to have a starting point. My guess is we'd rewrite it later once we understand usage better, but having something live is better than nothing.

   I imagine this as a single self-contained HTML file at / (replacing the current redirect). Zero dependencies, embedded in the Go binary using //go:embed.

   Goals:

   • Publishers can verify their server appeared after publishing
   • Provide a simple web interface to browse the registry
   • Replace the modelcontextprotocol/servers README as the canonical list
   • Clearly disambiguate this from the GitHub MCP registry

   I'll probably take a stab at this later today/this weekend.

   Features

   Server list with:

   • Search (by name)
   • Pagination
   • Expandable rows showing full metadata, versions, packages, repository links
   • Status indicators (health, version info)

   Implementation: vanilla HTML/CSS/JS (~500 lines), calls existing /v0/servers, /v0/health, /v0/version endpoints.

   Technical approach

   Add a handler in internal/api/handlers/v0/ui.go that serves embedded HTML:

   //go:embed ui/index.html
   var embedUI string
   
   func HandleUI(ctx context.Context, input *struct{}) (*struct{ Body string }, error) {
       return &struct{ Body string }{Body: embedUI}, nil
   }

   Register route in internal/api/router/router.go replacing the current redirect.

   Create internal/api/ui/index.html with inline CSS and JS.
