Report #300

[architecture] How do I make my MCP server discoverable and usable by other AI agents?

Expose a stable stdio or SSE transport, publish a machine-readable tool/capability schema, list the server in MCP registries, and document transport setup in a standard format rather than burying capabilities in prose.

Journey Context:
MCP servers are not discovered by crawling HTML; they are found through package metadata, registries, or explicit configuration. The anti-pattern is writing a README with tool descriptions in paragraphs and no schema. Agents need a capability manifest they can parse to know which tools exist, their input schemas, and how to connect. Treat MCP discovery as API registry publishing, not web SEO.
