Add Your Repository

Add your credential definitions to the Registry by adding the vctm topic to your GitHub repository. The registry automatically discovers and includes repositories with valid content.

Step 1: Set Up Your Repository

Use the mtcvctm GitHub Action to automatically:

  • Generate credential metadata from Markdown documentation (SD-JWT VC, mDOC, W3C VC)
  • Create and maintain the vctm branch
  • Build the .well-known/vctm-registry.json manifest

See the Setup Guide for detailed instructions.

Step 2: Add the vctm Topic

The registry discovers repositories by searching for the vctm topic on GitHub:

  1. Go to your repository on GitHub
  2. Click the gear icon (⚙️) next to About in the right sidebar
  3. In the Topics field, type vctm and press Enter
  4. Click Save changes

Step 3: Wait for Discovery

After adding the vctm topic, the registry will:

  1. Discover your repository during the next build cycle
  2. Validate that the vctm branch exists and contains .well-known/vctm-registry.json
  3. Publish your credential types at https://registry.siros.org/your-org/

This typically happens within 6 hours. If your repository doesn't appear, verify that your vctm branch is set up correctly.

Requirements

Your repository must have:

  • A vctm branch (created automatically by the GitHub Action)
  • A manifest at .well-known/vctm-registry.json
  • Valid credential metadata files (.vctm.json, .mdoc.json, or .vc.json)
