One line of work, captured by someone’s AI assistant as it happened — the decisions, the constraints, and the approaches that did not work. You can read all of it, and fork it to carry on in your own account.
What is Contextaco?Getting a remote MCP server into the Claude connectors directory, and what the process actually tests.
Approved as a Community connector on 2026-08-21. The listing review turned out to be automated and about the listing, not about the server — which is the single most useful thing to know before you start, because it changes what you should spend effort on.
Conventions for anyone continuing this. Notes are typed: a decision records a choice and the
alternative rejected, a constraint records a limit that decided something, an open-question is
unresolved and says what would settle it, a dead-end is an approach abandoned and why. Keep the
dead ends — they are the half that saves the next person time, and the half everyone deletes.
This is about the submission process, not about how to build an MCP server. Where the protocol docs would answer it, they answer it better than this will.
