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

PulseMCP

The largest hand-reviewed MCP directory — servers checked by live handshake and reliability-scored rather than auto-scraped — plus a public API.

  • Tutorials, showcase, and newsletter too
  • 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
