# How many servers each index lists: Best MCP Marketplace

**Answer in brief:** Indexes range from about a thousand reviewed connectors to more than a hundred thousand open source servers.


## The big indexes

Apideck counted 113,204 open source servers and 40,151 remote connectors on Glama, 53,541 servers in the official registry and 21,614 on PulseMCP on October 31, 2026.[1]

## Reviewed directories

Claude lists over 950 MCP servers in its connectors directory.[2] MCP Market's home page showed 52,516 servers on November 8, 2026.[3]

## Size is harder to check

A bigger index holds more forks and abandoned projects. Use it to find a server, then confirm the maker before you connect it.
