Glama is an all-in-one AI workspace combining an MCP server marketplace and registry, a managed MCP gateway, one-click MCP server hosting, an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway routing 90+ models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI and other providers, and Glama Chat with built-in projects, memory, web tools, and automations. The Glama MCP Registry indexes 23,000+ MCP servers, 4,000+ managed connectors, and 169,000+ tools across 86 categories, and Glama positions itself as a superset of the official MCP Registry, with maintainer verification, continuous rebuilds, and capability-level quality scoring. The Glama MCP Gateway fronts every hosted, remote, or custom MCP server behind a per-user endpoint with full JSON-RPC logging, per-tool access control, managed OAuth 2.1, and audit log export. The Glama AI Gateway is OpenAI-compatible at `https://gateway.glama.ai/v1` and provides prompt caching, load balancing, fallbacks, reasoning effort levels, web search and fetch tools, real-time cost analytics, and consolidated billing with no markup.
Glama publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, MCP, LLM Gateway, MCP Gateway, and MCP Marketplace.
Glama’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, pricing, engineering blog, changelog, support, and 29 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/glama-ai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Glama is an area vendor: providers adopt it to run part of their developer surface. This is the Kin Score checks its features can move for a provider that adopts it, what each one really earns, and what it earns nothing for.
mcp hostingcapability map6 features checked 2026-09-25 · rubric v0.22.0
Glama hosts MCP servers built from the provider’s own GitHub repo, npm/PyPI package or Dockerfile, but every deployment is reached through the Glama Gateway at a glama.ai URL, so a provider that declares it earns platform credit (0.25 of 12 agent-readiness points) on mcp_server and nothing else. The directory listing, quality score and glama.json claim make a server findable on Glama; no Kin Score check reads them. Glama’s own llms.txt and RFC 9727 api-catalog are Glama’s surface, not something it serves for a provider.

What Glama ships that earns nothing (7)
Glama MCP Gateway endpoints — Managed OAuth lives in the Glama Gateway on glama.ai; nothing is served at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource on the provider’s host.
Glama MCP Gateway endpoints — No registration_endpoint is published in the provider’s own discovery document; Glama brokers credentials itself.
MCP directory of servers and connectors — Glama’s api-catalog linkset names Glama’s APIs; a directory listing is not a WellKnown/APICatalog pointer the provider declares.
glama.json claim file — glama.json is a maintainers list for claiming a listing; it is not an Agent Skill or any artifact a check reads.
Remote MCP connector listings — A connector listing points at the provider’s own remote server; whatever that server earns, it earns without Glama.
Glama MCP Gateway endpoints — The hosted endpoint is glama.ai/endpoints//mcp, gated by per-profile tokens and private by default; nothing public fills in the profile, which 0.23.0 grades `templated` (0.0).
Browser MCP Inspector — The inspector tests a server’s OAuth from the client side; it publishes nothing on the provider’s surface.
A model, not a score. Adopting this vendor changes a provider's Kin Score only when the provider publishes the resulting artifacts on its own surface; nothing here writes a score, and no sponsorship or partnership can. The rating is not for sale → · Full vendor facets artifact
Interfaces this provider implements that became standards by being copied rather than ratified. Each is profiled by the API Commons, and the evidence column says how the claim was established — not that it was made.
