Roadmap
What comes after v1, in order. No dates are promised.
After v1
- v1.1 Observatory. A daily probe of every remote server in the official MCP registry, beyond the catalog; a
/registrypage to search that long tail; a daily CC BY 4.0 snapshot with raw rows. - pick.tools API keys. Keys with no rate limit and a per-key activity page;
client_idbecomes verified. Keys are the identity that vendor tokens are later bound to. - OAuth broker. URL-mode elicitation, encrypted token storage bound to a key, and refresh jobs, so OAuth servers can be relayed. It requires registering pick.tools as an OAuth client with each vendor.
- Vendor claiming. Vendors who verify their domain edit their metadata, see per-tool error diagnostics and add a status badge.
- ClickHouse for raw events, when Postgres rollups hurt or arbitrary slicing is wanted. Call events are never changed once written, so a backfill is simple.
- A docs repository of its own, published on GitHub Pages. These pages move there unchanged.
- Open-sourcing the app. The code is written to be publishable; the decision is the maintainer's.
Not planned for v1
- user accounts, pick.tools API keys, OAuth brokering and stored credentials
- plain REST or OpenAPI services without a remote MCP server
- a second datastore
- vendor self-service: claiming a page, editing metadata
- streaming tool results (SSE) through the relay,
subscriptions/listen, and server-to-client requests such as sampling and elicitation - running TypeScript connector catalogs
