Your Question

I'm sorry for my ignorance but is there any plans around evolution of the server.schema.json? From what I've read it seems that the official MCP registry will eventually contain server entries with many different schema versions.

It might be useful to guarantee some kind of compatibility, or even a set of rules?

This is true

It might be useful to guarantee some kind of compatibility, or even a set of rules?

Could you say more about what you mean here?
