MCP.so
MCP server directory. Briefly explored it but found Smithery more effective. Native integrations are making both less necessary.
What I use it for
Where it shines
- Clean directory of MCP servers. Good for browsing what's available.
- Free and open. No barriers to entry.
Where it struggles
- Smithery was more effective for actual MCP experimentation.
- Native connectors and integrated MCP in tools like Claude are reducing the need for standalone registries.
Notes
Briefly explored MCP.so but found Smithery more effective for hands-on MCP experimentation. The broader trend: native connectors, integrated MCP, and plugins in tools like Claude are reducing the need for either standalone registry. Still useful as a reference for what's available in the MCP ecosystem.
How to try it
Visit mcp.so and browse the server listings. Useful for understanding the MCP ecosystem, even if you don't need a standalone registry.

Smithery
The better MCP registry. Great for early experimentation. Less necessary as native integrations grow.
Ollama
Local LLM inference. Pairs with n8n for lighter tasks. No API tokens needed.
n8n
Open-source workflow automation I self-host on Docker — still useful, but increasingly replaced by native tool capabilities.
