Introduction

As a developer, you've likely spent countless hours building and refining your server to provide the best possible experience for users. However, if your server is listed on the Glama MCP directory but is not available for others to use, it may be due to a missing Dockerfile. In this article, we'll guide you through the simple process of fixing this issue and making your server available to the public.

Understanding the Importance of a Dockerfile

A Dockerfile is a text file that contains instructions for building a Docker image. It's a crucial component of a Docker-based project, as it allows developers to package their application and its dependencies into a single container that can be easily deployed and managed. In the context of Glama, a Dockerfile is required to ensure that your server is properly configured and can be used by others.

Why is My Server Not Available?

If your server is listed on the Glama MCP directory but is not available for others to use, it's likely because it's missing a Dockerfile. This is a common issue that can be easily resolved by following the steps outlined below.

Step 1: Claim Your Server

To fix the issue, you'll need to claim your server by following these steps:

  1. Go to your server's listing: mcollina/mcp-node-fetch
  2. Click "Claim" to verify ownership.

Step 2: Add a Dockerfile

Once you've claimed your server, navigate to the admin Dockerfile page and add a Dockerfile. This file should contain the necessary instructions for building your Docker image.

Step 3: Ensure Your Server Passes All Checks

After adding a Dockerfile, ensure that your server passes all the checks. These checks verify that your server is properly configured and meets the necessary requirements for use.

Conclusion

Fixing a missing Dockerfile is a simple process that can be completed in just a few minutes. By following the steps outlined above, you can make your server available to the public and provide a better experience for users.
