What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that connects AI assistants and coding agents to external developer tools, databases, and APIs securely through standardized JSON-RPC protocols.

How does Launchfiles secure MCP tool execution?

Launchfiles wraps MCP tool calls inside bounded authority envelopes with strict spend ceilings and approval gates for write operations, preventing rogue tool execution and ambient shell escapes.

Does Launchfiles automatically publish or list my server?

No. Launchfiles generates catalog manifests and runs compliance gates for your approval. You retain full control over when and where your MCP server is published or listed.

Which AI catalogs and developer tools are supported?

Launchfiles packages validated manifests for Smithery.ai, Cursor plugins (.cursor-plugin/plugin.json), Glama, and Claude Desktop configuration.

Verified quality gates unlock instant ecosystem distribution

Listing broken or unvalidated MCP tools destroys user trust. Launchfiles probes your MCP server, verifies JSON-RPC 2.0 and JSON Schema compliance, checks security attenuation, and generates catalog manifests for your approval with verifiable quality badges.

MCP Quality Scorecard

Comprehensive 0–100 audit of schema validity, parameter typing, and security.

Smithery.ai Manifest

Production-ready smithery.yaml for 1-click cloud & stdio installation.

Cursor Plugin Package

Complete .cursor-plugin/plugin.json configuration.

Public Verification Badge

Embeddable SVG and Markdown proof badge with permanent receipt URL.

Approval required: Manifests are generated for your inspection. Launchfiles never auto-publishes to third-party catalogs without your explicit sign-off.

HOW IT WORKS (MISSION HANDOFF)

Built for MCP tool authors

Clear boundaries on who this workflow serves.

Who this is for

Founders, API developers, and MCP tool authors who want their servers verified, packaged, and discovered by AI developers on Smithery.ai, Cursor, Glama, and Claude Desktop.

Who this is not for

Un-gated or autonomous publishing without review. If you want to connect existing MCP tools to your agent instead, see Use from Agent for consumer MCP setup.
