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
