Smithery

Smithery is an MCP server registry and hosting platform that lets developers discover, publish, and connect to Model Context Protocol servers from any AI agent. The platform combines a public registry of thousands of community MCP servers with a managed gateway that handles OAuth, credential storage, session state, protocol compliance, and webhook triggers — so agents can call tools across servers via a single stateless Connect API. Smithery also distributes a CLI, a TypeScript API client, a local runner, a Skills Registry, deep-linking integrations for popular MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue), and uplink support for exposing local servers as hosted connections.

Smithery publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including connect API, connect.mcp API, domains API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Agents, MCP, Registry, and Hosting.

The Smithery catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Smithery’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, code examples, CLI, tooling, and 50 more developer resources.

  - Public MCP server registry with thousands of community-published MCP servers
  - Server publishing via URL (Streamable HTTP) or MCPB bundle for stdio-based servers
  - Managed gateway handling MCP protocol compliance, metadata enrichment, and caching
  - Auto-generated OAuth UI modals for servers requiring API keys or user configuration

  - Zero OAuth setup with encrypted credential storage and automatic credential refresh
  - Skills Registry — reusable prompt-based skills installable via `npx skills add`
  - Namespaces for grouping servers, connections, and skills under a user or organization
  - Triggers — expose MCP server events as webhooks; manage subscriptions per-connection or per-namespace
  - Uplink — expose a local MCP server as a hosted connection without deploying it
  - Deep linking for one-click client integration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, etc.)
  - Scoped service tokens for machine-to-machine access with per-namespace and per-connection scoping
  - Team API keys with admin-only create/list/revoke flow under organization namespaces
  - Custom domains for hosted MCP servers, managed at the registry level
  - Per-server secrets management for storing API keys and credentials used at runtime
  - Release management with logs, streaming SSE log feed, and resume-on-paused-release support
  - Runtime log retrieval for hosted MCP servers
  - MCP JSON-RPC endpoint exposed per connection at /connect/{namespace}/{connectionId}/mcp
  - Cross-server tool search at /tools — find any tool across the entire registry
  - Smithery CLI (`smithery`) installable via npm, Homebrew, or Scoop for managing MCP servers and skills
  - smithery runner — local MCP launcher for stdio servers
  - smithery-cli-mcp — official MCP server for the Smithery CLI itself
  - TypeScript API client (Apache-2.0)
  - Integration with Vercel AI SDK, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, and any MCP-compatible client
  - agent.pw — share APIs with agents without sharing secrets
  - mouseless — Rust MCP server for macOS desktop control

description: Smithery is an MCP server registry and hosting platform that lets developers discover, publish, and connect to
  Model Context Protocol servers from any AI agent. The platform combines a public registry of thousands of community MCP
  servers with a managed gateway that handles OAuth, credential storage, session state, protocol compliance, and webhook triggers
  — so agents can call tools across servers via a single stateless Connect API. Smithery also distributes a CLI, a TypeScript
  API client, a local runner, a Skills Registry, deep-linking integrations for popular MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor,
  Continue), and uplink support for exposing local servers as hosted connections.
