Smithery Alternatives in 2026
Looking for a Smithery alternative with a bigger catalog, real one-click install, or a gateway? Here are the options and when each fits.
Smithery is a solid MCP registry, but people look for alternatives for three reasons: a larger catalog, install without copy-pasting config, or a gateway to reach many servers through one connection.
The main alternatives
- Unyly — the broadest catalog (51,000+), one-click install that writes the config for you, and the only gateway that turns the whole directory into a single connectable endpoint. Best if you install often or build agents.
- mcp.so — large catalog (~19,000), good for browsing; install is manual.
- Glama — large catalog (~22,000) with API access; developer-leaning.
- PulseMCP — curated, news-and-updates angle; smaller catalog.
- Composio / Pipedream — less "directory," more managed integration platforms if you want hosted actions rather than local MCP servers.
How to choose
| If you want… | Pick |
|---|---|
| Biggest catalog + 1-click | Unyly |
| One endpoint for many servers | Unyly (gateway) |
| Just browsing | mcp.so / Glama |
| Curated picks | PulseMCP |
| Hosted actions, not local servers | Composio / Pipedream |
Bottom line
If your reason for leaving Smithery is "installing servers is annoying," the fix is one-click install and a gateway — try it on Unyly.
