Activating Registry
Learn how to activate and manage MCP server registries to access hundreds of community and custom MCP servers.
Registry Management: Pylee registries allow you to organize and share collections of MCP servers across your team. You can create separate registries for different projects or environments.
Understanding Registries
A registry in Pylee is a collection of MCP servers that can be shared and managed as a unit. Think of it as a curated list of tools that your team has approved and configured for specific use cases.
Community Registry
Pre-configured MCP servers from Anthropic and the community
Private Registry
Your organization’s custom MCP servers and configurations

Click on “Browse Registries” to see available community and private registries
Select a Registry
Choose a registry that matches your needs:
- Starter Registry: Basic MCP servers for common tasks
- Developer Registry: Code-focused tools and utilities
- Data Registry: Database and analytics tools
- Custom Registries: Organization-specific tools
Activate Registry

Managing Active Registries
Once you have active registries, you can manage them from your dashboard:
View Active Registries
Update Registry Settings
Access Registry Settings
Go to Dashboard → Active Registries → Settings
Modify Permissions
Change who can access the registry servers
Enable/Disable Servers
Turn individual MCP servers on or off within the registry
Set Usage Limits
Configure rate limits and usage quotas if needed
Deactivate a Registry
If you no longer need a registry:
- Go to Dashboard → Active Registries
- Find the registry you want to deactivate
- Click “Deactivate”
- Confirm the action
Deactivating a registry will immediately remove access to all MCP servers in that registry across all your applications.
Testing Registry Activation
After activating a registry, verify it’s working:
- Restart Claude Desktop completely
- Start a new conversation
- Ask about available tools: “What MCP servers do I have access to?”
- Test a specific server: Try using a tool from your activated registry
- Restart Claude Desktop completely
- Start a new conversation
- Ask about available tools: “What MCP servers do I have access to?”
- Test a specific server: Try using a tool from your activated registry
- Reload VS Code window (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P → “Reload Window”)
- Open Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P)
- Look for MCP commands from your activated registry
- Test functionality with a simple command
Creating Custom Registries
For organizations wanting to create their own registries:
Plan Your Registry
- Identify the MCP servers you want to include
- Define access permissions and user groups
- Set naming conventions and descriptions
Add MCP Servers
- Upload custom MCP server configurations
- Convert internal APIs to MCP servers using Pylee’s tools
- Import existing MCP servers from other sources
Configure Security
- Set endpoint-level permissions
- Configure authentication requirements
- Define usage policies and rate limits
Test & Deploy
- Test with a small group first
- Validate all MCP servers work correctly
- Roll out to your organization
Best Practices
Start Small
Begin with community registries before creating custom ones
Organize by Use Case
Group related MCP servers together in focused registries
Set Clear Permissions
Define who can access what from the beginning
Monitor Usage
Track which servers are being used and by whom
Next Steps
Explore Available Servers
Browse the complete catalog of available MCP servers
Create Custom Registry
Build your own registry for your organization
What’s next?
After activating your registry:
- Start using MCP servers - Access activated servers directly in Claude or other compatible applications
- Explore available tools - Browse your dashboard to see all available MCP servers
- Create custom registries - Build your own collections for your team’s specific needs
