PulseMCP
MCP server directory and ranking site. Tracks weekly downloads, GitHub stars, and build status across 5,000+ servers.
PulseMCP is the analytics-heavy MCP directory. Where Smithery focuses on install and Glama on scale, PulseMCP focuses on signal: weekly download counts, star momentum, build health, and last-commit recency for every server in the registry. The result is a directory where you can sort by what people are actually using this week rather than just the alphabetical order or historical popularity. The landing page surfaces trending servers, recent additions, and category leaders. For anyone picking an MCP server from a crowded category, PulseMCP gives the fastest read on whether it is currently maintained and gaining usage.
