Track your directory submission

After you submit to the directory, the developer portal at claude.ai/directory/manage shows one status for each submission. The status tells you whether Anthropic is working on the submission, whether it’s waiting on you, or whether it’s live. This page is for anyone with a submission in the portal. Review time isn’t fixed.

If you haven’t submitted yet, see Publish to the directory.

Find your status in the table for your submission’s kind: plugin bundle or MCP connector. If nothing is waiting on you and you still need an answer, see Contact Anthropic about a submission.

Plugin bundle statuses

Open the plugin from Submissions in the developer portal. The status appears next to the plugin’s name, and the card under it says what happens next.

Status	What it means	Who acts next
Draft	Nothing has been sent to Anthropic yet	You. Select Continue submission.
Scanning	You submitted, and the security scan is waiting to start or running. If a scan attempt fails on Anthropic’s side or GitHub’s, the directory retries it.	Anthropic. There’s nothing to do on your side.
Needs changes	The newest version didn’t pass, or the scanner couldn’t fetch or accept the plugin. The plugin’s page names what to change.	You. Fix a failed version covers pushing a fix and resubmitting.
In review	An Anthropic reviewer is checking the listing. When the version was held, the card names the category it’s held for. The reviewer’s decision appears on the plugin’s page.	Anthropic
Approved	The version passed, and it isn’t live yet. The card says who publishes it: an Anthropic reviewer, you, or the directory by itself.	Whoever the card names. Publish a passing version explains the publish settings.
Published	A version is live in the directory. The card also says what is happening with any newer version, such as being scanned, waiting with a reviewer, or not passing. A newer version that doesn’t pass leaves the published one unaffected.	Nobody, unless the card names a newer version that needs changes
Not live yet	The submission is marked published, and nothing is listed yet. The directory team has to list it.	Anthropic
Delisted	The plugin isn’t visible in the directory. Select Relist plugin to ask for it back.	You, if you want it listed again
Withdrawn	Nothing is under review or listed	Nobody

Approved doesn’t mean people can install the plugin. A plugin is installable only once its status is Published.

MCP connector statuses

Open the connector from the developer portal’s list of submissions. A card at the top of the connector’s page shows the status, one sentence about it, and the next step when there is one. A submission doesn’t pass through every status in the table. Anthropic scans each connector submission automatically and, by default, lists it as a Community connector with no action from you. Some submissions also get a review from a person, and the statuses that mention a reviewer apply to those. How Anthropic reviews directory submissions describes both.

Status	What it means	Who acts next
Draft	Nothing has been sent to Anthropic yet. A draft can have a reviewer’s note if it was sent back and saved again.	You
In review	A reviewer is checking the listing. Anthropic emails your primary contact if it needs anything.	Anthropic
Changes requested	The reviewer left a note. Select View feedback on the card to read it, then address it and resubmit.	You
Not approved	The reviewer’s notes say why. Select View feedback to read them. You can edit the listing and resubmit.	You
Approved	The review team cleared the listing, and it isn’t in the directory yet. It goes live when someone who can edit the listing publishes it. If you edit the listing before you publish, it returns to draft for another review.	You. Select Publish.
Published	The connector is live in the directory. If you submitted an edit, the card says whether that edit is in review, and the live listing stays until the edit is approved.	Nobody

Manage your directory listing covers reviewer feedback, listing edits, and the health and usage metrics for a published connector.

Contact Anthropic about a submission

Check the status first. Scanning and In review mean Anthropic acts next and nothing is waiting on you. When you need to reach Anthropic, use the channel for your submission’s kind:

Plugin bundle: open the plugin in the developer portal, open its menu, and select Get help or Contact Anthropic. A plugin that wasn’t approved shows Appeal this decision on its page. You can also email directory@anthropic.com, where replies can be delayed
MCP connector: email mcp-review@anthropic.com

Include the listing’s name, the organization you submitted from, and the status the portal shows.

After your listing is published

A published listing appears in the directory that claude.ai, the Claude desktop and mobile apps, and Cowork share. Plugin feature support across platforms lists which of a plugin’s components load on each surface. A published connector is listed with the Community label by default. There’s no application for the Verified label. Connector verification explains how a listing becomes Verified and what each label means to people installing it.
