MCP Registry Integration

Overview

Configure MCP (Model Context Protocol) Registries to discover and validate MCP servers. Akto reads a CSV file you host at a URL you provide and ingests the MCP server names listed in it, so you can keep your MCP server inventory in sync with your own source of truth.

How to Add a URL

You can configure the MCP registry from Settings → Integrations → MCP Registry.

1

Open the form

Click Add URL to open the form.

2

Enter the URL

Enter the URL pointing to your CSV file (e.g. https://example.com/path/to/mcp_servers.csv). The file at this URL will be read to extract MCP endpoints.

Use Download sample CSV on this page to get a template.

3

Add authentication (if required)

If the file requires authentication, click Add Header and add a header, for example key Authorization and value Bearer <your_token>.

4

Submit

Click Add Registry. MCP server entries will be ingested automatically from the CSV.

Important Notes

Only one registry URL is supported.

CSV Format

Your CSV must have a header row with a mcp_server_name column. Each row is one MCP server name.

mcp_server_name
api.githubcopilot.com
mcp.notion.com
filesystem-local
my-postgres

• For remote MCP servers, use the domain name (e.g. api.example.com).

• For local MCP servers, use the name your team has given it (e.g. filesystem-local, my-postgres).
