How do I list an MCP server on MCPize?

Pick GitHub repo (install App), public URL (same App needed), OpenAPI spec URL, or remote MCP endpoint. All need prep work.

What blocks MCP server listing from Apify?

No GitHub repo? App install required. No OpenAPI.json? Build it. No /mcp endpoint? 1-2 hour TypeScript Actor.

Is MCPize good for indie MCP devs?

Solid platform, 85% share — but gated for GitHub/OpenAPI setups. Apify pure? Extra grind.
