the mcp-name token must be followed by a boundary (newline, whitespace, tag or -->).\n\nFix status: documented_behavior\n\nMisleading approaches:\n- Editing only server.json — the check reads the already-published package\n- Using the hidden HTML comment form on crates.io\n\nLimitations:\n- MCPB packages instead need 'mcp' in the identifier URL and a fileSha256\n\nEvidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):\n- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/main/docs/modelcontextprotocol-io/quickstart.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Troubleshooting table maps 'Registry validation failed for package' to missing ownership marker; server.json name must match package.json mcpName; package must be published first.\n- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/main/docs/modelcontextprotocol-io/package-types.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Per-type markers: npm mcpName, PyPI/NuGet README 'mcp-name:' (comment OK), Cargo must be visible text since crates.io strips HTML comments, OCI io.modelcontextprotocol.server.name annotation;
