# Publishing to the official registry: Best MCP Marketplace

**Answer in brief:** Claim a namespace you can prove, publish the metadata, and keep private servers in a private registry.


## Prove the namespace

A server's name in the registry is tied to a GitHub account or a domain its publisher proves, so only the owner can publish under it.[1]

## An example listing

Conecto is listed as chat.conecto/conecto, with its remote address `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/mcp`.[2]

## Private servers stay private

For servers that should not be public, the registry documentation recommends hosting your own private registry.[1]
