Frequently Asked Questions

Can Blastra submit my product to Smithery?

Not as part of the standard service. Smithery lists MCP servers, and Blastra includes it in this directory guide so you can see where MCP servers get listed. Submissions there are made by the vendor, usually from its own developer account or code repository.

Is Smithery free?

Yes, listings on Smithery are free. Smithery also offers paid upgrades that build out a more complete profile — fuller profiles give AI search and LLM citation engines more to work with, and the upgrade matters most when you want to prioritize Smithery for active review collection. The free listing alone captures the baseline SEO and discovery benefit.

Does Smithery have reviews?

No. Smithery either doesn't host reviews at all or doesn't weight them in how listings get surfaced — it works on a different model, like editorial curation, traffic, or paid tiers. The value of being on Smithery doesn't depend on running a review collection campaign for this listing.

Does Smithery accept beta or waitlist products?

No — Smithery only accepts products that are publicly available. Beta and waitlist-stage products are rejected because the reviewers want to see something they can actually try before approving the listing. Wait until you've moved out of private beta and the product is purchasable before submitting.

What's the approval time for Smithery?

Submissions to Smithery go live immediately — there's no manual approval step. The directory relies on automated checks rather than human review, which means listings appear within minutes of submitting. Be aware that instant-approval directories typically have weaker spam controls, so the listing pool is larger and quality varies.

Can I list my SaaS product on Smithery?

Yes — Smithery accepts product listings, including SaaS, software, AI tools, and hardware. Service businesses, agencies, and consultancies won't be approved or won't fit the audience even if they get through. If you sell services, look at directories with explicit Services focus instead, like Clutch or GoodFirms.

Is Smithery a good place to launch a product or to list one?

Smithery is categorized as a MCP Directory, which determines how the platform's audience uses it and what kind of listing strategy makes sense. Worth checking Smithery's own documentation for category-specific guidance, since the playbook for each category type is meaningfully different from a standard directory.

Is Smithery worth listing on?

Smithery is a general directory with strong domain authority and broad reach across categories — a steady source of buyer discovery and AI search citation that compounds over time. Domain rating 79 (via Ahrefs, assessed October 2026); 3K monthly visits. It's not a fit for service businesses — those don't match the audience and typically won't be approved at submission time.
