Smithery

Marketplace for discovering and deploying MCP servers with one-click hosting; 5,000+ servers indexed.

-
US Est. 2024 Active AI API / SDK for Developers

Our Verdict

The default MCP registry today — useful for discovery but treat hosted servers like any third-party dependency.

Pros

  • Largest MCP server index available
  • One-click hosting simplifies deploy
  • Central discovery beats hunting GitHub

Cons

  • MCP ecosystem quality is highly uneven
  • Hosted servers add supply-chain risk
  • Lock-in risk if Smithery pivots
Best for: Claude and MCP client users who want to browse and install servers fast Not for: Teams with strict supply-chain review who need to audit each MCP server themselves
