Glama runs a registry of MCP servers, next to an AI chat workspace. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol through which an AI client such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor calls outside tools. An MCP server is a small program that exposes tools, resources and prompts to such clients over JSON-RPC 2.0. The Glama registry lists more than 111,000 servers and builds on the official MCP Registry.
A developer submits an open-source server from its GitHub repository, with a display name and a short description. During indexing Glama runs automated checks (license detection, a security scan and a health test) and gives each server quality scores; most submissions appear in search and category pages within minutes. A glama.json metadata file in the repository sets the display name, description, category, environment variables and build spec. Visitors can test a server in the browser-based Inspector, and Glama can host a server and route calls through its Gateway, with call logs, per-tool access control and managed OAuth credentials.
Listing and browsing are free; hosting a server on Glama is paid.
