Our take
Smithery is a registry for MCP servers, built for developers and AI builders connecting agents to external tools, and it also hosts servers. Publishing is free and is done through a CLI or dashboard rather than a classic submit form. Listing links are confirmed to pass SEO value (a real backlink), and its traffic is spread across the UK, India, and South Korea.
Connect agents to thousands of tools and services so they can act with more agency. Auth, credentials, and sessions handled for you.
