PulseMCP is a discovery hub for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem — a daily-updated, hand-reviewed directory of thousands of MCP servers and clients, validated by live handshake and scored on reliability. Alongside the directory it publishes tutorials, a use-case showcase, an API for programmatic access, and 'The Agentic Loop' newsletter. It is a free resource for finding and tracking MCP integrations.

Pros & cons

  • Hand-reviewed, reliability-scored listings
  • Updated daily
  • Free API for programmatic access
  • Tracks both MCP servers and clients
  • Run by an MCP Steering Committee member
  • A directory/resource, not a tool you run
  • Quality depends on manual curation
  • Does not host the servers itself

    mcp.so

    chatmcp

    Community directory for discovering Model Context Protocol servers.

    mcp.so is a community-driven directory that collects and organizes third-party MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers so developers can browse, share, and integrate external tools for AI apps. It ranks servers by real call volume with a "Call Ranking" leaderboard and offers Featured, Latest, Official, and Hosted filters. The project is open-source and still in preview.

    Worth knowing

    Among the first community MCP directories; now lists 19,000+ servers, one of the largest registries.

    Glama

    Glama

    MCP server registry, inspector, and gateway.

    A discovery and hosting hub for the Model Context Protocol ecosystem: browse a large indexed catalog of MCP servers, test them in an in-browser Inspector, and route them through a managed Gateway that handles credentials, logging, and analytics. Browsing and installing open-source servers locally is free; hosting servers on Glama's infrastructure and the Gateway's managed features are paid. Also ships an AI playground chat client over the connected tools.

    Worth knowing

    Built solo by Frank Fiegel, who also maintains the awesome-mcp-servers list and the TypeScript FastMCP framework.

    Smithery

    Smithery

    Registry and hosting platform for Model Context Protocol servers.

    A central hub for the MCP ecosystem: browse, install, and configure thousands of community-built MCP servers from one place, or deploy your own to Smithery's infrastructure and access it remotely. The CLI installs and manages servers without hand-editing JSON config, and the hosted tier adds managed OAuth and persistent connections so agents get authenticated tool access. Lists over 6,000 servers across developer tools, data connectors, and productivity integrations.

    Worth knowing

    Only its CLI is open-source (AGPL-3.0); the 6,000+ server registry and hosting itself is a closed platform that adds managed OAuth.
