Philidor MCP Server

# Philidor MCP — Marketing Checklist

## Tier 1: Awesome Lists & Official Registry

- [x] PR to [punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers) — Finance & Fintech section — [PR #2280](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/pull/2280)
- [x] ~~PR to [wong2/awesome-mcp-servers](https://github.com/wong2/awesome-mcp-servers)~~ — does NOT accept PRs, redirects to mcpservers.org
- [ ] Official MCP Registry (`registry.modelcontextprotocol.io`) — requires DNS TXT record on `philidor.io` with Ed25519 key + `mcp-publisher` CLI. Unlocks `io.philidor/defi-vaults` namespace. Auto-syncs to PulseMCP.
  - Install: `curl -L "https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/releases/latest/download/mcp-publisher_$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')_$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/;s/aarch64/arm64/').tar.gz" | tar xz mcp-publisher`
  - Generate key: `openssl genpkey -algorithm Ed25519 -out key.pem`
  - Get TXT value: `openssl pkey -in key.pem -pubout -outform DER | tail -c 32 | base64`
  - Add DNS TXT record: `philidor.io. IN TXT "v=MCPv1; k=ed25519; p=<PUBLIC_KEY>"`
