MCP server registry and gateway with managed OAuth and persistence.
Smithery is a registry and gateway for MCP servers and agent skills that handles hosted OAuth and persistent connections; the service itself is proprietary, while its CLI at smithery-ai/cli is AGPL-3.0.
Caveat: A claim that Smithery was acquired by Arcade.dev in August 2026 had only a single source and is unverified.
