Introduction
Smithery is a platform to help developers find and ship agentic services. An agentic service is a server designed to communicate with language model agents. All our listed services follow the Model Context Protocols (MCP) specification. Our mission is to make agentic services accessible and accelerate the development of agentic AI.
Smithery addresses this challenge by providing:
- A centralized hub for discovering MCP servers
- Hosting and distribution for MCP servers
- Standardized interfaces for tool integration and configs
Connect to tools and data sources through a standardized protocol.
Build MCP servers that can be discovered and used by thousands of AI applications.
Model Context Protocol
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLMs and external data sources and tools. It is a universal standard for connecting AI systems with the context they need, eliminating information silos and fragmented integrations.
By providing a standard way to connect AI systems with data sources, MCP simplifies the development and maintenance of agentic applications. This makes it easier to build agents like intelligent IDEs, chat interfaces and custom AI workflows.
Instead of writing custom implementations for each new data source, developers can use MCP as a single, standardized protocol. This approach not only makes systems more maintainable but also ensures better scalability as your AI applications grow and evolve.
