Description

(Not really sure if this is a GA blocker, but wanted to raise attention, just in case.)

The MCP Registry currently uses /.well-known/mcp-registry-auth for DNS-based auth:

https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/blob/68213d2befd88e887688cedad74636208c078f0d/docs/explanations/namespacing.md?plain=1#L26

However, there is a desire to support /.well-known/mcp/server.json. For example, see https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/issues/1649.

So should we change /.well-known/mcp-registry-auth to /.well-known/mcp/registry-auth?

Research direction

Start with docs/explanations/namespacing.md around line 26 and review modelcontextprotocol#1649 for the proposed server.json path. Compare the existing mcp-registry-auth convention with the proposed nested path and determine whether the change is required for compatibility. Done means the path decision is agreed and the relevant registry documentation or specification references reflect it.
