​ What can I do with Smithery?

Smithery connects your AI agent to a growing catalog of tools and integrations — and lets you publish your own for others to use. A few popular ones:

  • Exa - Search the live web, access LinkedIn profiles, do deep research, and more
  • Context7 - Reference the latest docs for most major SDKs and frameworks directly in Cursor or Claude Code
  • Browserbase - Control a remote web browser using Stagehand

How does Smithery work?

Under the hood, Smithery speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Learn more in our concepts section.

​ Why Smithery?

Whether you’re building chatbots, background agents, or AI copilots, Smithery handles the messy parts of plugging agents into external services:

  • Zero OAuth configuration — No redirect URIs, client IDs, or secrets to manage
  • Automatic token refresh — Credentials stay valid without manual intervention
  • Secure credential storage — Encrypted, write-only storage for API keys and tokens
  • Stateless for you — Connection lifecycle managed automatically

​ Quickstarts
