Smithery
Smithery is a registry and hosting platform for MCP servers. Browse the directory to discover community-built servers, deploy them with one click, or host your own. Smithery handles infrastructure — scaling, uptime, and transport configuration — so you focus on building tools. Use it alongside Vinkius Cloud to discover complementary MCP servers.
The npm for MCP Servers
Smithery is to MCP servers what npm is to JavaScript packages — a centralized registry for discovery and distribution. Search by category, check compatibility, read documentation, and deploy servers. Publishing your own server makes it discoverable by the community.
Features:
- Server registry — searchable directory of MCP server implementations
- One-click deploy — host discovered servers without infrastructure setup
- Auto-scaling — managed hosting scales with demand
- Client configs — pre-generated configuration for popular MCP clients
- Categories — browse servers by function: databases, APIs, development tools
- Versioning — server versioning and update management
