docs(discovery): adopt AI Catalog urn:air: identifier convention (ADR 0015)#31
Merged
Conversation
…DR 0015)
Align the MCP Catalog Entry `identifier` with the domain-anchored
`urn:air:{publisher}:{namespace}:{name}` naming convention standardized
in Agent-Card/ai-catalog#36 (ADR 0015), replacing the repo-local
`urn:mcp:server:<name>` format.
The MCP Catalog is documented as "a minimal, MCP-scoped subset of the AI
Catalog specification" whose entries "can be used as-is within a full AI
Catalog document" — a claim the old `urn:mcp:server:` format
contradicted. Maps the Server Card reverse-DNS `name` (`{publisher}/{name}`)
to `urn:air:{publisher}:mcp:{name}`, and clarifies that the discovery
`identifier` is decoupled from cryptographic trust identity per ADR 0015.
Doc-only change to docs/discovery.md; the Server Card schema has no
identifier field and is unchanged.

…her note Address fresh-eyes review: ADR 0015 does not define a urn:air:local: form (it permits any open-text identifier for local/closed catalogs), and note that MCP's reverse-DNS publisher segment matches the ADR's own MCP examples. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per review feedback, anchor the identifier on the publisher's forward-DNS domain (e.g. example.com) to match ADR 0015's framing that the publisher segment is a domain, and its canonical example urn:air:example.com:mcp:weather. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Re-pad the Catalog Entry table after the identifier example shortened; fixes the failing format:check CI step. No content change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

@SamMorrowDrums let's wait for the AI Catalog PR to land before merging this AI Catalog is not stable yet, but we plan to have a target stable v1 date set during the next Thursday call |

What & why
Adopts the AI Catalog
urn:air:identifier-naming convention standardized in Agent-Card/ai-catalog#36 (ADR 0015) for this extension's discovery docs.This repo's only identifier-naming surface is the MCP Catalog Entry in
docs/discovery.md. It previously used a repo-localurn:mcp:server:<name>URN.docs/discovery.mddescribes the MCP Catalog as "a minimal, MCP-scoped subset of the AI Catalog specification" whose entries "can be used as-is within a full AI Catalog document" — a claim the old format contradicted, since the AI Catalog now standardizes the domain-anchoredurn:air:{publisher}:{namespace}:{name}form.Changes (doc-only,
