Maybe one day this becomes now relevant, but today? Isn’t it better to stick to CLI tools? Lesser chance of supply chain attack if you stick to the vendor’s cli.
(I use 2 MCP servers in daily life, hesitant to add more)
Tried to find it but docs point to GitHub, GitHub points to docs and none seem to point to MCPs listing.

I think the main MCP clients (think Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS code, Mistral Le chat...) will end up owning the distribution. The same way you have now 10-20 connectors pre-built there today, MCP connector stores are emerging. I don't see why Anthropic, OpenAI and others rely on a third party registry, they will have their own process for MCP registration which need to include validation, security checks... the same way Apple and Android own the registration of applications in their store.
Most independent registries will likely disappear if they don't add strong value on top like auth, pre vetted MCP, orchestration, RBAC...
