About Smithery
Smithery is a platform for finding, connecting to, and publishing MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and Agent Skills that extend AI agents with thousands of tools. It provides a single gateway for agents to securely access external services—handling OAuth, credentials, and persistent sessions automatically. Developers can publish their own MCP servers to Smithery for distribution, observability, and built-in authentication without implementing auth flows themselves. The platform hosts over 4,700 MCP servers and 125,000+ Skills spanning web search, productivity tools, databases, communication platforms, and more.
- MCP Server Registry — Browse and search thousands of MCP servers including Exa, GitHub, Notion, Slack, Supabase, and more from a central directory.
- Agent Skills — Pre-built workflows and behavioral extensions that customize agent capabilities, publishable and installable by any user.
- Managed OAuth — Built-in OAuth handling so agents can authenticate with third-party services without custom auth implementation.
- Persistent Connections — Maintain stateful, long-running connections between agents and MCP servers across sessions.
- CLI Tool — Use
npx @smithery/cli@latest setupto quickly wire up MCP servers to your agent from the terminal. - TypeScript SDK — Programmatically connect agents to MCP tools via the Smithery SDK for custom integrations.
- Publish & Distribute — Publish MCP servers once and make them installable from any AI client, with usage observability built in.
- Observability — Track how your published tools are called, monitor usage metrics, and improve the agent experience.
- LLM-Friendly Docs — Documentation available in Markdown and via MCP server at
smithery.ai/docs/mcpfor direct agent consumption.
