Smithery helps you distribute your MCP server. When you publish on Smithery, users can discover and connect to your server from any MCP client.

​ Why Use Smithery?

  • Distribution — Get a dedicated server page where users can discover, try, and install your MCP from any client
  • Analytics — Track tool calls, monitor usage patterns, and understand how users interact with your server
  • Spec Compliance — The Gateway handles MCP protocol compliance, metadata enrichment, and caching automatically
  • OAuth UI — Automatic authentication modal generation for servers that require user configuration or API keys

​ Already Hosting Your Server?

If you’ve already deployed an MCP server elsewhere, you can publish it directly on Smithery via the URL method. Any server exposing Streamable HTTP is compatible.If you have an MCPB bundle for a local stdio server, you can publish that artifact on Smithery too.
