The desktop app carried its own hardcoded list of 17 vendor MCP endpoints
(apps/desktop/src/lib/mcp-directory.ts) powering the composer suggestion
pills — a second PR-reviewed vendor list, overlapping and drifting from the
Nous-approved MCP catalog (optional-mcps/).
This makes the catalog the single source of truth:
- manifest schema: optional `suggest:` block (keywords + hosts), parsed,
validated, and normalized in mcp_catalog.py
- 15 new URL-only hosted-remote catalog entries (atlassian, sentry, datadog,
notion, stripe, vercel, supabase, netlify, hugging_face, asana, intercom,
airtable, webflow, paypal, square); figma + linear manifests gain suggest
blocks
- GET /api/mcp/catalog now serves the suggest metadata
- desktop suggestion provider builds its match index from the catalog;
the static directory remains only as a compatibility rung for older
backends without suggest metadata
- setup card source line prefers the catalog entry's transport URL
GitHub stays out of the catalog on purpose: its hosted MCP rejects generic
DCR and the bundled github/* skills (gh CLI) are the stronger integration.
New desktop `github` suggestion provider offers the github-auth skill
instead — gated on a new cached GET /api/git/gh-auth probe so already-
authenticated users never see the pill.
