Claude MCP Directory Listing Playbook

Tactics for getting Model Context Protocol servers listed and recommended in Claude

A practical workflow for submitting Model Context Protocol connectors to the Claude marketplace and achieving rapid approval. It focuses on using keyword-targeted descriptions so Claude directly surfaces and recommends the connector during relevant user prompts.

How it works

1/ Submit at claude[.]ai/admin-settings/directory/submissions/new. 2/ Ask Claude to fill the form via browser control. 3/ The hack: have Claude write the listing SEO-optimized — Ryze put 'Google ads, Meta ads, SEO, GEO' so it shows up first when someone searches those terms. 4/ Claude then recommends the connector when users look for SEO/ads connectors. Timeline: 12h from submit to approved. Proof: Anthropic Directory email approves the submission as a community connector, publishable from the submission portal (claude.ai/admin-settings/directory/submissions/ryze-ai), listing goes live at claude.ai/directory/connectors/ryze-ai. Community vs verified connectors: claude.com/docs/connectors/verification.

What it's for

  • Submit an MCP connector to Anthropic's directory for review
  • Optimize directory listing copy with relevant search terms to drive organic discovery
  • Automate the submission form process using browser control
