Store readiness

StoreStatusReason
Claude Connectors Directory Ready No blocking check failed.
ChatGPT app directory Not ready Blocked by Sign-in method the store supports (OAuth or none), Protected resource metadata (RFC 9728), Authorization server metadata (RFC 8414 / OIDC) and Explicit readOnlyHint, destructiveHint and openWorldHint (ChatGPT).
Gemini Connected Apps Not ready Blocked by Sign-in method the store supports (OAuth or none) and Authorization server metadata (RFC 8414 / OIDC).
Official MCP Registry Ready No blocking check failed.

MCP Registry ready means a valid public remote for the registry, not that the server is listed in a store.

Fixes

7 checks to fix

  1. Fails

    Protected resource metadata (RFC 9728)

    auth_prm

    Blocks ChatGPT.

    Measured Not found: https://api.transcriptout.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp -> 404; https://api.transcriptout.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource ->

    Serve RFC 9728 metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource (plus the path-suffixed form) with "resource" and "authorization_servers".

  2. Fails

    Authorization server metadata (RFC 8414 / OIDC)

    auth_as_metadata

    Blocks ChatGPT and Gemini.

    Measured Not found: https://api.transcriptout.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server -> 404; https://api.transcriptout.com/.well-known/openid-configuration -> 404

    Serve RFC 8414 metadata at <issuer>/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server with authorization_endpoint, token_endpoint and response_types_supported ["code"].

  3. Fails

    Sign-in method the store supports (OAuth or none)

    auth_method

    Blocks ChatGPT and Gemini.

    Measured unknown method: HTTP 401 and no working OAuth discovery: the server expects a credential such as an API key or static token

    ChatGPT and Gemini cannot send a static API key or token: add MCP OAuth (protected resource metadata and authorization server metadata), or serve the tools without auth. Claude accepts a static credential in a request header only in a beta

  4. Fails

    Explicit readOnlyHint, destructiveHint and openWorldHint (ChatGPT)

    tool_open_world

    Blocks ChatGPT.

    Measured 12/14 tools miss an explicit hint: get_transcript, get_video_info, search_youtube, list_channel_videos, search_channel_videos and 7 more

    Set readOnlyHint, destructiveHint and openWorldHint to explicit true/false on every tool (OpenAI app review requires all three).

  5. Fails

    401 carries WWW-Authenticate resource_metadata

    auth_challenge

    Measured unknown method: HTTP 401 without WWW-Authenticate

    On 401, send WWW-Authenticate: Bearer resource_metadata="<protected resource metadata URL>".

  6. Fails

    Server instructions

    instructions

    Measured No instructions in the initialize result

    Add an "instructions" string to the initialize result: what the server covers, for whom, and its limits.

  7. Warning

    JSON-RPC error for unknown method

    jsonrpc_errors

    Measured HTTP 401 instead of a JSON-RPC error

    Route the method first and answer unknown methods with JSON-RPC error -32601 before the auth check, or return a JSON-RPC error body with the 401.

14 checks passed, 6 did not run

Passed. Served over HTTPS, initialize over Streamable HTTP, Supported protocol version negotiated, JSON or SSE response Content-Type, GET answers SSE or 405, initialize latency, serverInfo name and version, tools capability declared, tools/list returns tools, inputSchema is an object schema, Tool names are valid and portable, readOnlyHint or destructiveHint on every tool, Human-readable title on every tool, Tool descriptions.

Not run. Resource metadata "resource" equals the server URL, First metadata URL Gemini tries answers 200 with the required fields, issuer equals the authorization_servers entry; token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported (ChatGPT), PKCE S256 advertised, Client registration (DCR or Client ID Metadata Documents), refresh_token grant advertised. These need an OAuth sign-in flow the check could not reach.
