MCP server cataloging services Glama, Smithery, and mcp.so offer distinct approaches

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Three different services—Glama, Smithery, and mcp.so—aim to catalog MCP servers but have distinct approaches. Glama clones repositories and runs servers in isolated containers, requiring local stdio MCP servers and specific build configurations. Smithery acts as a proxy, forwarding requests to existing HTTPS endpoints, but requires discovery methods to be unauthenticated. mcp.so, mentioned briefly, appears to have a different focus on markdown line integration.

    <p>I spent yesterday afternoon trying to list one MCP server on three catalogs: Glama, Smithery, and mcp.so. I assumed they would be variations of the same thing — git URL goes in, listing comes out.</p> <p>They are completely different services with completely different ideas ab…
