Registry Commands

Use registry to query the configured MCP registry. This command group has four subcommands: search, status, show, and versions.

1mcp registry <subcommand> [options]

Shared Registry Options

All registry subcommands accept these transport options when needed:

• --url <url>: Registry base URL.
• --timeout <ms>: Registry request timeout.
• --cache-ttl <seconds>, --cache-max-size <number>, --cache-cleanup-interval <ms>: In-process cache settings.
• --proxy <url>, --proxy-auth <username:password>: HTTP proxy settings for registry requests.

Commands

• search: find registry entries by text, status, package type, or transport.
• status: check registry availability and optional counts.
• show: inspect one registry entry.
• versions: list versions for one registry entry.

Typical Lookup

1mcp registry search filesystem --type npm --transport stdio
1mcp registry show io.github.containers/kubernetes-mcp-server
1mcp registry versions io.github.containers/kubernetes-mcp-server --format json

Use the exact registry ID returned by search with mcp install. Registry configuration, login, private-registry management, cache-clearing, and update commands are not part of this command group.
