How do I publish a remote MCP server to the official MCP Registry using my own domain?

I want a name like com.example/my-server instead of a GitHub namespace. What are the steps?

Use domain authentication (HTTP or DNS):
1. Generate an Ed25519 key pair.
2. Prove the domain: either serve https://example.com/.well-known/mcp-registry-auth containing v=MCPv1; k=ed25519; p=<base64 public key>, or add the same string as a DNS TXT record.
3. Write server.json using the current schema, with name in reverse-DNS form (com.example/my-server), a short description (100 characters max), version, and a remotes entry: {"type":"streamable-http","url":"https://example.com/mcp"}. Declare optional or required headers there too.
4. Log in and publish: mcp-publisher login http --domain example.com --private-key <hex seed>, then mcp-publisher publish. Under the hood this signs the current RFC 3339 timestamp, exchanges it at /v0/auth/http for a registry token, and POSTs server.json to /v0/publish.
5. Bump version for every update. Published versions are immutable.
Keep the private key somewhere safe. You need it for every future update.
