MCP distribution is still a huge pain, so any initiative to improve it is positive... but I am not really sure what pain this is solving and if it's going to get any traction.
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...

There really should be an indication of auth status for Remote MCPs on launch of this
