Listing status · Claim or correct this listing

Public (non-proxied) MCP server directory. Per https://smithery.ai/future (fetched 2026-10-24), its connection management services shut down on 2026-10-31: hosted server URLs (run.tools, server.smithery.ai), the Smithery API, Connect and Toolbox, accounts and API keys, and the CLI and SDKs stop working. No longer a Depot pick since 2026-10-24 (mcp-discovery -> mcp-registry, mcp-server-hosting -> cloudflare-workers); kept as a directory-only runner-up for mcp-discovery. Strengths: Public (non-proxied) MCP server directory; hosting ends 2026-10-31; Registry pages show direct MCP URLs for a curated set of verified servers; Faster path than raw registry metadata.
