SUBMISSION_GUIDELINES

Last updated: April 13, 2026

1. Purpose

These guidelines explain how we handle submissions that feed the public skills registry on explainx.ai. They complement our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If anything conflicts, the Terms control.

MCP server directory: listings may be created or updated through internal tooling, data partners, or public sources in addition to (or instead of) a self-serve submission flow. The same standards for accuracy, legality, and acceptable use apply wherever we surface third-party offerings. See Terms §7 for disclaimers on third-party resources.

2. What you can submit (skills)

Through the submit flow (account required), you may propose agent skill listings that point to a legitimate source repository and include truthful metadata (name, summary, category, tags, install command pattern, and SKILL.md-style content as prompted by the form).

You must:

  • Own or have authority to reference the repository and skill name you list.
  • Provide accurate, non-misleading descriptions; keep install instructions good-faith and safe.
  • Avoid secrets: do not paste API keys, tokens, passwords, private URLs, or personal data of others into public fields.
  • Respect third-party licenses and trademarks.

3. What we do not allow

We may reject or remove submissions that, in our judgment:

  • Violate law or infringe intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
  • Distribute or facilitate malware, phishing, spam, or credential theft.
  • Promote illegal activity, hate, harassment, or sexual content involving minors.
  • Attempt to manipulate rankings deceptively or impersonate others.
  • Are primarily ads, scams, or empty shells with no real skill value.

This list is illustrative. We may block or remove content for security, legal, or product reasons not listed here.

4. Review and moderation

Submissions may be pending, approved, or rejected. Approval means the listing may appear publicly; it is not a security audit, endorsement, or quality certification. We may change rankings, labels, or visibility over time.

We are not obligated to approve any submission or to provide detailed reasons for a decision, though we may do so when practical.

5. Public listing and license

Approved content is generally public (visible on the site and possibly in search engines or APIs). By submitting, you grant the license described in Terms §4.

6. Takedowns and disputes

If you believe a listing infringes your rights or violates these guidelines, contact us at support@explainx.ai with enough detail to identify the listing and the issue. We may remove or restrict content when appropriate. Bad-faith notices may be ignored.

7. Changes

We may update these guidelines; the “Last updated” date will change. Continued submission after updates constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
