MCPRegistry is the deprecated v1alpha1 version of the MCPRegistry resource.
The MCPRegistry CRD as a whole is deprecated and will be removed in a future
release; install the ToolHive registry server via the toolhive-registry-server

APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources
Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
Standard object's metadata. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata
Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata. They are not queryable and should be preserved when modifying objects. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/annotations
Each additional property must conform to the following schema
Type: stringCreationTimestamp is a timestamp representing the server time when this object was created. It is not guaranteed to be set in happens-before order across separate operations. Clients may not set this value. It is represented in RFC3339 form and is in UTC.
Populated by the system. Read-only. Null for lists. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata
Number of seconds allowed for this object to gracefully terminate before it will be removed from the system. Only set when deletionTimestamp is also set. May only be shortened. Read-only.
DeletionTimestamp is RFC 3339 date and time at which this resource will be deleted. This field is set by the server when a graceful deletion is requested by the user, and is not directly settable by a client. The resource is expected to be deleted (no longer visible from resource lists, and not reachable by name) after the time in this field, once the finalizers list is empty. As long as the finalizers list contains items, deletion is blocked. Once the deletionTimestamp is set, this value may not be unset or be set further into the future, although it may be shortened or the resource may be deleted prior to this time. For example, a user may request that a pod is deleted in 30 seconds. The Kubelet will react by sending a graceful termination signal to the containers in the pod. After that 30 seconds, the Kubelet will send a hard termination signal (SIGKILL) to the container and after cleanup, remove the pod from the API. In the presence of network partitions, this object may still exist after this timestamp, until an administrator or automated process can determine the resource is fully terminated. If not set, graceful deletion of the object has not been requested.
Populated by the system when a graceful deletion is requested. Read-only. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata
Must be empty before the object is deleted from the registry. Each entry is an identifier for the responsible component that will remove the entry from the list. If the deletionTimestamp of the object is non-nil, entries in this list can only be removed. Finalizers may be processed and removed in any order. Order is NOT enforced because it introduces significant risk of stuck finalizers. finalizers is a shared field, any actor with permission can reorder it. If the finalizer list is processed in order, then this can lead to a situation in which the component responsible for the first finalizer in the list is waiting for a signal (field value, external system, or other) produced by a component responsible for a finalizer later in the list, resulting in a deadlock. Without enforced ordering finalizers are free to order amongst themselves and are not vulnerable to ordering changes in the list.
GenerateName is an optional prefix, used by the server, to generate a unique name ONLY IF the Name field has not been provided. If this field is used, the name returned to the client will be different than the name passed. This value will also be combined with a unique suffix. The provided value has the same validation rules as the Name field, and may be truncated by the length of the suffix required to make the value unique on the server.
If this field is specified and the generated name exists, the server will return a 409.
Applied only if Name is not specified. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#idempotency
A sequence number representing a specific generation of the desired state. Populated by the system. Read-only.
Map of string keys and values that can be used to organize and categorize (scope and select) objects. May match selectors of replication controllers and services. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels
Each additional property must conform to the following schema
Type: stringManagedFields maps workflow-id and version to the set of fields that are managed by that workflow. This is mostly for internal housekeeping, and users typically shouldn't need to set or understand this field. A workflow can be the user's name, a controller's name, or the name of a specific apply path like "ci-cd". The set of fields is always in the version that the workflow used when modifying the object.
No Additional ItemsManagedFieldsEntry is a workflow-id, a FieldSet and the group version of the resource that the fieldset applies to.
APIVersion defines the version of this resource that this field set applies to. The format is "group/version" just like the top-level APIVersion field. It is necessary to track the version of a field set because it cannot be automatically converted.
FieldsType is the discriminator for the different fields format and version. There is currently only one possible value: "FieldsV1"
FieldsV1 holds the first JSON version format as described in the "FieldsV1" type.
Manager is an identifier of the workflow managing these fields.
Operation is the type of operation which lead to this ManagedFieldsEntry being created. The only valid values for this field are 'Apply' and 'Update'.
Subresource is the name of the subresource used to update that object, or empty string if the object was updated through the main resource. The value of this field is used to distinguish between managers, even if they share the same name. For example, a status update will be distinct from a regular update using the same manager name. Note that the APIVersion field is not related to the Subresource field and it always corresponds to the version of the main resource.
Time is the timestamp of when the ManagedFields entry was added. The timestamp will also be updated if a field is added, the manager changes any of the owned fields value or removes a field. The timestamp does not update when a field is removed from the entry because another manager took it over.
Same definition as creationTimestampName must be unique within a namespace. Is required when creating resources, although some resources may allow a client to request the generation of an appropriate name automatically. Name is primarily intended for creation idempotence and configuration definition. Cannot be updated. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names#names
Namespace defines the space within which each name must be unique. An empty namespace is equivalent to the "default" namespace, but "default" is the canonical representation. Not all objects are required to be scoped to a namespace - the value of this field for those objects will be empty.
Must be a DNS_LABEL. Cannot be updated. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces
List of objects depended by this object. If ALL objects in the list have been deleted, this object will be garbage collected. If this object is managed by a controller, then an entry in this list will point to this controller, with the controller field set to true. There cannot be more than one managing controller.
No Additional ItemsOwnerReference contains enough information to let you identify an owning object. An owning object must be in the same namespace as the dependent, or be cluster-scoped, so there is no namespace field.
API version of the referent.
If true, AND if the owner has the "foregroundDeletion" finalizer, then the owner cannot be deleted from the key-value store until this reference is removed. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/garbage-collection/#foreground-deletion for how the garbage collector interacts with this field and enforces the foreground deletion. Defaults to false. To set this field, a user needs "delete" permission of the owner, otherwise 422 (Unprocessable Entity) will be returned.
If true, this reference points to the managing controller.
Kind of the referent. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
Name of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names#names
UID of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names#uids
An opaque value that represents the internal version of this object that can be used by clients to determine when objects have changed. May be used for optimistic concurrency, change detection, and the watch operation on a resource or set of resources. Clients must treat these values as opaque and passed unmodified back to the server. They may only be valid for a particular resource or set of resources.
Populated by the system. Read-only. Value must be treated as opaque by clients and . More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#concurrency-control-and-consistency
Deprecated: selfLink is a legacy read-only field that is no longer populated by the system.
UID is the unique in time and space value for this object. It is typically generated by the server on successful creation of a resource and is not allowed to change on PUT operations.
Populated by the system. Read-only. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names#uids
MCPRegistrySpec defines the desired state of MCPRegistry
ConfigYAML is the complete registry server config.yaml content.
The operator creates a ConfigMap from this string and mounts it
at /config/config.yaml in the registry-api container.
The operator does NOT parse, validate, or transform this content —
configuration validation is the registry server's responsibility.
Security note: this content is stored in a ConfigMap, not a Secret.
Do not inline credentials (passwords, tokens, client secrets) in this
field. Instead, reference credentials via file paths and mount the
actual secrets using the Volumes and VolumeMounts fields. For database
passwords, use PGPassSecretRef.
Must be at least 1 characters long
DisplayName is a human-readable name for the registry.
ImagePullSecrets allows specifying image pull secrets for the registry API workload.
These are applied to both the registry-api Deployment's PodSpec.ImagePullSecrets
and to the operator-managed ServiceAccount the registry API runs as, so private
images are pullable through either path.
Use this field for new manifests.
Important: this is the ONLY way to attach image-pull credentials to the
operator-managed ServiceAccount. The legacy
spec.podTemplateSpec.spec.imagePullSecrets path populates the Deployment's pod
spec ONLY — it does NOT touch the ServiceAccount. On managed Kubernetes
platforms that rely on ServiceAccount-level credential injection (for example
GKE Workload Identity, OpenShift's per-SA dockercfg secrets, EKS IRSA), using
only the legacy PodTemplateSpec path can fail to pull private images even when
the secret exists in the namespace. Always set spec.imagePullSecrets when
SA-level credentials matter.
Precedence with PodTemplateSpec:
- This field is applied first as the controller-generated default.
- Values set under spec.podTemplateSpec.spec.imagePullSecrets are user overrides
and win on overlap. If the user supplies imagePullSecrets via PodTemplateSpec,
those replace the default list on the Deployment (the list is treated atomically).
- The ServiceAccount is always populated from this field — PodTemplateSpec does not
affect the ServiceAccount.
An omitted field and an explicitly empty list are equivalent: both leave the
ServiceAccount's existing ImagePullSecrets unchanged. This preserves
platform-managed pull secrets (for example OpenShift's per-SA dockercfg
entries) when overlays or patches emit an empty list. Truly clearing the
ServiceAccount's pull secrets requires recreating the resource.
LocalObjectReference contains enough information to let you locate the
referenced object inside the same namespace.
PGPassSecretRef references a Secret containing a pre-created pgpass file.
Why this is a dedicated field instead of a regular volume/volumeMount:
PostgreSQL's libpq rejects pgpass files that aren't mode 0600. Kubernetes
secret volumes mount files as root-owned, and the registry-api container
runs as non-root (UID 65532). A root-owned 0600 file is unreadable by
UID 65532, and using fsGroup changes permissions to 0640 which libpq also
rejects. The only solution is an init container that copies the file to an
emptyDir as the app user and runs chmod 0600. This cannot be expressed
through volumes/volumeMounts alone -- it requires an init container, two
extra volumes (secret + emptyDir), a subPath mount, and an environment
variable, all wired together correctly.
When specified, the operator generates all of that plumbing invisibly.
The user creates the Secret with pgpass-formatted content; the operator
handles only the Kubernetes permission mechanics.
Example Secret:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: my-pgpass
stringData:
.pgpass: |
postgres:5432:registry:db_app:mypassword
postgres:5432:registry:db_migrator:otherpassword
Then reference it:
pgpassSecretRef:
name: my-pgpass
key: .pgpass
The key of the secret to select from. Must be a valid secret key.
Specify whether the Secret or its key must be defined
PodTemplateSpec defines the pod template to use for the registry API server.
This allows for customizing the pod configuration beyond what is provided by the other fields.
Note that to modify the specific container the registry API server runs in, you must specify
the registry-api container name in the PodTemplateSpec.
This field accepts a PodTemplateSpec object as JSON/YAML.
VolumeMounts defines additional volume mounts for the registry-api container.
Each entry is a standard Kubernetes VolumeMount object (JSON/YAML).
The operator appends them to the container's volume mounts alongside the config mount.
Mount paths must match the file paths referenced in configYAML.
For example, if configYAML references passwordFile: /secrets/git-creds/token,
a corresponding volume mount must exist with mountPath: /secrets/git-creds.
Volumes defines additional volumes to add to the registry API pod.
Each entry is a standard Kubernetes Volume object (JSON/YAML).
The operator appends them to the pod spec alongside its own config volume.
Use these to mount:
- Secrets (git auth tokens, OAuth client secrets, CA certs)
- ConfigMaps (registry data files)
- PersistentVolumeClaims (registry data on persistent storage)
- Any other volume type the registry server needs
MCPRegistryStatus defines the observed state of MCPRegistry
Conditions represent the latest available observations of the MCPRegistry's state
No Additional ItemsCondition contains details for one aspect of the current state of this API Resource.
lastTransitionTime is the last time the condition transitioned from one status to another.
This should be when the underlying condition changed. If that is not known, then using the time when the API field changed is acceptable.
message is a human readable message indicating details about the transition.
This may be an empty string.
Must be at most 32768 characters long
observedGeneration represents the .metadata.generation that the condition was set based upon.
For instance, if .metadata.generation is currently 12, but the .status.conditions[x].observedGeneration is 9, the condition is out of date
with respect to the current state of the instance.
Value must be greater or equal to 0
reason contains a programmatic identifier indicating the reason for the condition's last transition.
Producers of specific condition types may define expected values and meanings for this field,
and whether the values are considered a guaranteed API.
The value should be a CamelCase string.
This field may not be empty.
^[A-Za-z]([A-Za-z0-9_,:]*[A-Za-z0-9_])?$
Must be at least 1 characters long
Must be at most 1024 characters long
status of the condition, one of True, False, Unknown.
type of condition in CamelCase or in foo.example.com/CamelCase.

Must be at most 316 characters long
Message provides additional information about the current phase
ObservedGeneration reflects the generation most recently observed by the controller
Phase represents the current overall phase of the MCPRegistry
ReadyReplicas is the number of ready registry API replicas
