Rate limited to 5 submissions per client per day.

repo_url	string	Yes	Full GitHub repository URL, e.g. https://github.com/owner/repo

Responses:

• Submitted successfully: returns the listing URL and a note that the owner can claim it at mcpvault.io/claim.

• Rate limited: try again tomorrow.

Example prompts:

• "If you find an MCP server on GitHub that is not in MCPVault, submit it"
• "Submit https://github.com/owner/my-mcp-server to MCPVault"
