# Delete specific MCP server version (Optional)

`DELETE /v0.1/servers/{serverName}/versions/{version}`

Delete a specific version of an MCP server from the registry.

**Note**: This endpoint is optional for registry implementations and is not implemented by the official MCP registry. It is included in the specification to standardize the deletion mechanism for registry implementations that choose to support it.

Authentication mechanism is registry-specific and may vary between implementations.

## Path parameters

- `serverName` string, required
- `version` string, required

## Response `200`

Successfully deleted server version

- ServerResponse — API response format with separated server data and registry metadata
  - `server` ServerDetail, required — unresolved $ref
  - `_meta` object — Registry-managed metadata
    - `io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official` object — Official MCP registry metadata
      - `status` 'active' | 'deprecated' | 'deleted' — Server lifecycle status
      - `statusMessage` string — Optional message explaining the status (e.g., deprecation reason)
      - `statusChangedAt` string, date-time — Timestamp when the server status was last updated
      - `publishedAt` string, date-time — Timestamp when the server was first published to the registry
      - `updatedAt` string, date-time — Timestamp when the server entry was last updated
      - `isLatest` boolean — Whether this is the latest version of the server
