MCP server approved into Claude directory in 9 days while OpenAI stays silent at day 10

A developer submitted the same MCP server to Claude and OpenAI directories the same evening: Claude approved it in 9 days with zero questions, while OpenAI sent only a single "we received it" email over 10 days.

Tips that made the review smooth: no login required, read-only tools, and one clearly scoped job (looking up phone call costs). One gotcha: "Approved" doesn't mean you're live—you still have to click publish yourself. The author is polling others on how long OpenAI review normally takes.
