Smithery
Registry and hosting platform for MCP servers. 6,000+ servers indexed. One-command install and configuration via CLI. Supports local and hosted deployments.
Smithery is the leading registry and management platform for Model Context Protocol servers, indexing over 6,000 servers as of early 2026. The CLI lets you search, install, and configure MCP servers from your terminal in one command, without hand-editing JSON config files. It supports both local installations where tools run on your machine and hosted deployments where tools run on Smithery's infrastructure. The client-aware configuration automatically detects whether you are using Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client and generates the right config format. For developers entering the MCP ecosystem, Smithery is the easiest on-ramp. Browse the registry, run a single install command, and your AI assistant has new capabilities.
