The honest brief

Glama

Superset of the official MCP registry that scores servers and lets you test any of them in an ephemeral browser sandbox.

  • Indexes 10000+ MCP servers, security-scored
  • In-browser Inspector for live tool calls
  • Gateway adds auth, logs, access control
  • Hosting for private/public servers
  • Hosting and Gateway features are paid
  • Quality varies across indexed servers
  • Cloud-centric, not a local tool

mcp.so

  • Featured/Official/Hosted filters
  • Free and community-driven
  • Still in preview, may break
  • Community submissions vary in quality
  • Overlaps the official MCP registry
  • Listing quality not fully vetted
