Smithery at a glance

What a listing on Smithery gets you

Publishing is free at smithery.ai/new: sign in, then enter your server's public HTTPS URL or upload a local MCPB bundle. URL publishing needs the Streamable HTTP transport, plus OAuth if your server requires auth. Smithery then scans the server to pull its tools, prompts and resources onto your page.

How to submit to Smithery

1. Search Smithery for your product first. If it's already listed, claim or update that listing instead of submitting again.
2. Open the submit page: smithery.ai/dashboard/submit.
3. No account is needed to submit.
4. Fill in the form: product name, website, a short description written for this audience, category, logo and a screenshot or two.
5. Save the listing URL once it's public, so you can check the link later.

What our agent saw on Smithery's submit flow

• Route: smithery.ai/dashboard/submit → smithery.ai/console/toolbox.
• We didn't reach the last screen, so later steps may ask for more.

Recorded by our submission agent on 3 October 2026. Directory flows change, so check the live page.

Things to know before you submit

• The scan is where most submissions fail: a server behind Cloudflare bot protection, or one that returns 403 instead of 401, rejects Smithery's scanner.
• Local servers need the MCPB bundle route.

Tips for Smithery

• Allow Smithery's scanner through your bot protection before publishing.
• Return 401 with an OAuth challenge, not 403, for unauthenticated requests.

Submit to Smithery with your AI agent

AgentLaunch is a launch kit you open in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your agent submits your product to 300+ hand-checked directories, Smithery included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On Smithery specifically:

• It already knows Smithery's submit flow from the path we recorded (smithery.ai/dashboard/submit → smithery.ai/console/toolbox).
• Smithery needs no account, so it goes straight to the form.
• It writes the listing copy for Smithery's audience (MCP and agent registry) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
• When Smithery publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the link in your launch tracker.
