Bukapbuf-registry is an Apache-2.0, self-hosted Protocol Buffers schema registry written in Go—complete with OIDC / OAuth2 SSO, per-module RBAC, multi-source vendoring (pbuf-registry, buf.build, and Git), automatic option go_package rewriting, breaking-change & transitive drift detection, a dark-mode Vue 3 Web UI, and a built-in Model Context Protocol (pbuf mcp) server for AI coding agents.pbuf-registry?

pbuf-registry
pbuf-registry?Once gRPC microservices split across repositories, teams typically face an uncomfortable choice: copy .proto files via brittle Git scripts, or pay per-seat SaaS pricing for private schemas, SSO, and RBAC.
pbuf-registry solves three real pain points out of the box:
option go_package Rewriting (gen_out): Eliminate conflicting upstream option go_package declarations across Go repositories. Set gen_out: gen in pbuf.yaml and pbuf vendor automatically rewrites option go_package in downloaded .proto files to match your local go.mod module path.pbuf.yaml: Pull internal schemas from pbuf-registry, upstream packages from buf.build (BSR), and raw .proto subtrees from Git repositories in a single manifest.All components live in this monorepo and are released together under unified semantic versions:

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
option go_package Rewriting (gen_out)Anyone managing Go gRPC microservices across multiple repositories has hit conflicting option go_package declarations in upstream .proto files. When you set gen_out: gen on any dependency in pbuf.yaml, pbuf vendor reads your local go.mod module path and automatically rewrites option go_package in every downloaded .proto file:
syntax = "proto3";
package acme.payment.v1;
-option go_package = "github.com/acme/payment-service/api/payment/v1;paymentv1";
+option go_package = "github.com/acme/order-service/gen/payment/v1";
pbuf-registry, buf.build, and Git)Consumer services can pull schemas from pbuf-registry, the Buf Schema Registry (buf.build), and Git repositories in a single pbuf.yaml:
version: v1
name: myorg/order-service
registry:
addr: registry.example.com:6777
export:
paths:
- api
modules:
# 1. From pbuf-registry — pinned, auditable, drift-tracked, go_package patched
- name: myorg/payment-service
tag: v2.1.0
out: third_party
gen_out: gen
# 2. From Buf Schema Registry (buf.build) — public or private (via BUF_TOKEN / ~/.netrc)
- name: buf.build/bufbuild/protovalidate
tag: v0.14.0
out: third_party
# 3. From a Git repository — pinned to a tag or branch
- repository: https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis
path: google/api
tag: common-protos-1_3_2
out: third_party
When a module version modifies, deletes, or incompatibly changes .proto files compared to prior tags or downstream dependencies, the background proto-parser indexes the AST and records drift events with severity levels (INFO, WARNING, CRITICAL) and upgrade recommendations. You can also run pbuf drift diff locally or in CI before pushing a tag:
# Compare local .proto edits against the latest published tag in the registry (exits non-zero on CRITICAL)
pbuf drift diff
pbuf drift diff --against v2.0.0 --format markdown
# List all unacknowledged drift events across the registry
pbuf drift list
# Drift events for a specific module, optionally filtered by tag
pbuf drift module payment-service --tag v2.1.0
# Evaluate transitive dependency drift status for a module
pbuf drift dependencies order-service --tag v1.4.0
pbuf mcp)pbuf includes a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (pbuf mcp) over stdio. Connect Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, or GitHub Copilot directly to your organization's live Protobuf registry so AI coding assistants can inspect module tags, pull .proto definitions, query parsed AST metadata (messages, fields, RPCs, enums), and check breaking drift statuses without hallucinating wire types.
Every schema push gets a tag. Published tags are immutable: once pushed, the content at a tag never changes. Draft tags (--draft) can be overwritten during development and are automatically cleaned up after 7 days by the compaction daemon.
pbuf modules push v2.1.0 # Stable — permanent and immutable
pbuf modules push v2.1.0-rc1 --draft # Draft — mutable, auto-expires after 7 days
Engineers and CI pipelines can authenticate using:
pbuf login via OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Flow, or Web UI Authorization Code + PKCE Flow)pbuf_user_* / pbuf_bot_*) with explicit read, write, or admin permissions per module or globally (*)SERVER_STATIC_TOKEN) for bootstrap and administrative automation.proto source files at any tag, explore parsed messages/services/enums/fields, and review dependency drift alerts — either in public read-only mode or authenticated via Bearer token or OIDC SSO.git clone https://github.com/pbufio/pbuf-registry.git

pbuf-registryModules with a name (not starting with buf.build/) and no repository field are pulled from the configured registry.addr over gRPC:
modules:
- name: pbufio/pbuf-registry
tag: v0.9.0
path: api/pbuf-registry/v1 # Optional: only vendor files under this prefix
out: third_party
gen_out: gen # Optional
buf.build)Modules whose name starts with buf.build/<owner>/<module> are downloaded directly from the Buf Schema Registry reflection API (https://buf.build/buf.reflect.v1beta1.FileDescriptorSetService/GetFileDescriptorSet) and reconstructed into .proto files—without requiring a pbuf-registry server connection:
modules:
- name: buf.build/googleapis/googleapis
tag: main
path: google/type
out: third_party
Private BSR Modules Authentication:
BUF_TOKEN environment variable (export BUF_TOKEN=...), orbuf.build in ~/.netrc:
machine buf.build
password <your-buf-token>
Modules with a repository URL are cloned with a shallow single-branch fetch (depth: 1) at the specified tag or branch:
modules:
- repository: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf
path: examples/addressbook.proto
tag: v24.4
out: proto
Private Git Repositories Authentication:
Add credentials for your Git host in ~/.netrc:
machine github.com
login <github-username>
password <personal-access-token>
go_package Patching (gen_out)When a dependency in modules specifies gen_out, pbuf vendor inspects your local go.mod module name and automatically sets or rewrites option go_package in every vendored .proto file for that dependency to:
<go.mod module name>/<gen_out>/<relative directory of .proto file>
For example, if your go.mod declares module github.com/myorg/order-service, out: third_party, and gen_out: gen, a vendored file at third_party/payment/v1/payment.proto will have its go_package patched to github.com/myorg/order-service/gen/payment/v1.
pbuf initInitializes a pbuf.yaml file in the current directory.
# Interactive TUI prompt
pbuf init
# Non-interactive (defaults registry to pbuf.cloud when omitted)
pbuf init myorg/payment-service
pbuf init myorg/payment-service registry.example.com:6777
pbuf authStores a static, user, or bot token in ~/.netrc (creating the file with 0600 permissions if it does not exist) for the host configured in pbuf.yaml (registry.addr, or localhost if pbuf.yaml is not present):
pbuf auth pbuf_bot_abc123...
pbuf loginAuthenticates with an OIDC identity provider using the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Flow (RFC 8628) and saves the resulting ID token / access token to ~/.netrc.
# Using flags
pbuf login --issuer https://idp.example.com --client-id pbuf-cli --scope "openid profile email"
# Using environment variables
export PBUF_OIDC_ISSUER=https://idp.example.com
export PBUF_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=pbuf-cli
pbuf login
# Or using registry.oidc.issuer and registry.oidc.client_id from pbuf.yaml
pbuf login
pbuf vendorDownloads all dependencies listed under modules: in pbuf.yaml (supporting pbuf-registry, buf.build BSR, and Git repositories) and applies go_package patching where gen_out is configured:
pbuf vendor
pbuf modules)All pbuf modules commands use the name and registry settings from pbuf.yaml.
# Register the module in pbuf-registry
pbuf modules register
# Push .proto files from export.paths with an immutable tag
pbuf modules push v1.0.0
# Push a temporary draft tag (mutable, auto-deleted after 7 days)
pbuf modules push v1.1.0-rc1 --draft
# List all modules in the registry
pbuf modules list
# Get module metadata, tags, and dependencies (uses name from pbuf.yaml if omitted)

# Delete the current module and all of its tags
pbuf modules delete
pbuf metadata)Retrieves parsed AST metadata (packages, messages, fields, nested types, enums, and gRPC services/methods) indexed by the background proto-parser:
# Uses module name from pbuf.yaml when omitted
pbuf metadata get
pbuf metadata get myorg/payment-service v1.0.0
pbuf drift)Inspects local uncommitted breaking changes, file-level drift events, and cross-module dependency drift:
# Compare local .proto files in export.paths against the latest (or specified) registry tag
pbuf drift diff
pbuf drift diff --against v1.2.0 --format markdown --fail-on critical
# List unacknowledged drift events (default --unacknowledged-only=true)
pbuf drift list
# List all drift events (including acknowledged)
pbuf drift list --unacknowledged-only=false
# Get drift events for a specific module (optionally filtered by tag)
pbuf drift module myorg/payment-service
pbuf drift module myorg/payment-service --tag v2.0.0
# Print a tabular report of dependency drift status and recommendations
pbuf drift dependencies myorg/order-service
pbuf drift dependencies myorg/order-service --tag v1.4.0
# Acknowledge a drift event by ID
pbuf drift acknowledge <event-id> --by alice
pbuf mcp)pbuf mcp runs a standard JSON-RPC 2.0 Model Context Protocol (MCP) server over stdio. It connects to the registry configured in pbuf.yaml (or via PBUF_REGISTRY_ADDR and PBUF_REGISTRY_INSECURE environment variables) using credentials from ~/.netrc.
