         Hi @__AUTHOR__ 👋 — thanks for your interest in the MCP Registry!
 
-        It looks like this PR is trying to publish an MCP server by adding or editing files in this repository (under `servers/` or in `data/seed.json`). That isn't how servers get published, so I'm closing this PR automatically.
+        It looks like this PR is trying to publish an MCP server by adding or editing server files in this repository (under `servers/`, `data/servers/`, or in `data/seed.json`). That isn't how servers get published, so I'm closing this PR automatically.
 
         **Servers are published with the [`mcp-publisher`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/blob/main/docs/modelcontextprotocol-io/quickstart.mdx) CLI**, not by opening a pull request against this repo. The CLI verifies that you own your namespace and submits your `server.json` directly to the live registry API.
