Descrizione

### What happened?

The `search_mcp_registry` function (used by Claude in claude.ai chat to find and suggest MCP connectors) never returns the "Point Hacks" connector (slug: `point-hacks`), even though the connector is published, visible, and fully functional through the claude.ai/directory browsing UI.

### What did you expect to happen?

**What I expected**
Once a connector shows "Published" in the developer console and appears in the claude.ai directory browser, `search_mcp_registry` should index and return it — both surfaces are meant to query the same underlying catalog.

**What actually happens**
- Directory browse (claude.ai/directory UI): finds it ✅
- Direct connect from the directory card: works ✅
- `search_mcp_registry` (Claude's in-chat tool): never finds it ❌

Tested across ~6 attempts, using different query phrasings (connector name, slug, category terms), in fresh conversations, and both before and after connecting the connector to my account. Result was consistently empty in every case.

### Steps to reproduce

1. New chat with tge prompt "Browse Australian credit cards offers for Qantas Points using Point Hacks."
2. The `point-hacks` connector and associated tools will not be discovered and offered from the Directory

### Area

Tool Discovery / Invocation

### MCP Server (if applicable)

https://mcp-app.pointhacks.com/mcp

### Error messages or logs

```shell
None actuall errors triggered, but the `search_mcp_registry` tool not discovering the Point Hacks tools, even when expressly asked for, is the error.
```

### Additional context

**Timeline**
- Connector published/last updated: 30th July 2026
- First noticed `search_mcp_registry` miss: 2nd August 2026
- Still reproducing as of: 4th August 2026

**Why I don't think this is propagation lag**
15+ hours with zero hits across multiple phrasings is inconsistent with normal indexing delay, which I'd expect to be near-instant to same-day.

**Possible cause worth checking**
The connector is tagged "Community" tier in the directory. It's possible `search_mcp_registry` is scoped to a different catalog or tier (e.g., Anthropic-published/Verified only) than the directory browser UI, rather than this being a sync bug. If that's by design, it'd be worth documenting — right now it looks like a bug rather than an intentional scope limit.

**Connector details**
- Name: Point Hacks
- Slug: point-hacks
- Tier: Community
- Directory URL: https://claude.ai/directory/connectors/point-hacks

**Impact**
Users relying on Claude's in-chat suggestion flow (search → suggest_connectors) will never be offered this connector, even though it's live and working — meaning discoverability is effectively broken for any Community-tier connector Claude would otherwise recommend in-chat.
