Registry Tools MCP Server
Search and resolve MCP server packages on the mpak registry. This server lets agents discover available MCP servers, inspect their tools, and check credential requirements before installation.
This is one of the core MCP servers that powers NimbleBrain's agent runtime, giving agents self-service access to the registry. It's open source so you can see how it works, fork it to connect to your own registry, or use it as a reference for building discovery-layer MCP servers.
