Integration Description

The MCP Gateway & Registry is an enterprise-grade control plane for AI assets including MCP servers, AI agents, and skills. It provides centralized discovery, governance, and secure access to MCP servers across organizations.

This integration adds You.com MCP server entries to the registry's server catalog, enabling enterprise users to discover and access You.com's search, content extraction, and research capabilities through their centralized MCP infrastructure.

The registry already includes several MCP servers (currenttime, atlassian, etc.) and follows a JSON-based registration format in registry/servers/. Adding You.com servers follows this established pattern.

Target Repo Contributing Guidelines

Planned Approach

1. MCP Server Registration: Add JSON server registration files for You.com MCP servers:

   • registry/servers/youcom-authenticated.json — Full authenticated You.com MCP server (https://api.you.com/mcp)
   • registry/servers/youcom-free.json — Keyless free tier MCP server (https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free)
   • registry/servers/youcom-docs.json — You.com docs search MCP server (https://you.com/docs/_mcp/server)

2. Follow Registry Format: Each registration includes server metadata, tool schemas, auth requirements, and enterprise metadata (team, owner, cost center, compliance) following the existing currenttime.json pattern.

3. Documentation: Update any relevant registry documentation to include You.com server examples.

The integration leverages the registry's existing MCP server discovery and governance infrastructure - no code changes needed, purely additive server registrations.

Status Checklist

• Claimed this integration (self-assign)
• Filed issue or opened discussion in target repo
• Opened PR in target repo
• You.com API calls send the standard integration User-Agent (handled by MCP server)
• You.com links in contributed docs carry the standard UTM parameters
• PR merged or rejected

Additional Notes

Perfect distribution surface fit: This is exactly what the MCP Gateway & Registry is designed for - centralized registration and discovery of MCP servers. Adding You.com servers through the existing JSON registration format is the cleanest possible integration path.

Enterprise visibility: The registry targets enterprise deployments where You.com MCP servers would be discovered and accessed by multiple teams through a governed control plane. High visibility for You.com capabilities.

Multiple MCP profiles: Can register all available You.com MCP endpoints - authenticated, free tier, docs search, and specialized profiles - giving users choice based on their needs and access levels.

Zero code changes: Pure JSON configuration following established patterns. No risk to existing functionality.

Implementation Summary

Integration type: MCP server registration entries
Distribution surface: Enterprise MCP registry's server catalog
Setup/env vars:

• YDC_API_KEY for authenticated servers
• No env vars needed for keyless profiles
• OAuth support documented for enterprise SSO integration

Usage example:

{
  "server_name": "You.com Search & Research",
  "description": "Web search, content extraction, and research via You.com MCP server",
  "path": "/youcom/",
  "proxy_pass_url": "https://api.you.com/mcp",
  "auth_scheme": "bearer",
  "tags": ["search", "web", "research", "content"]
}

Validation performed: Confirmed JSON schema matches registry format, reviewed existing server registrations for pattern consistency.
