We will start with what mcpservers.org gets right, because it is rare: it publishes a complete advertising rate card. A $39 one-time fee buys an expedited review, an Official badge, and a dofollow link; sponsors pay a listed $500 to $2,500 per month for capped homepage, category, and network placements. In a market where most directories hide pricing behind contact forms or bot walls, that transparency is worth something, and it is a value we share.
The catalog itself is narrower than the storefront. mcpservers.org covers MCP servers only, 9,800 or so of them, sorted into 15 flat categories, with no popularity data, no API, no newsletter, and no community layer. Its self-reported traffic of two million monthly pageviews sits awkwardly next to an eleven-month-old domain and a global rank near 860,000, so treat audience claims with some care. And heavy sponsor rotation across every server page means paid visibility is woven through the browsing experience.
We are equally public about pricing but draw a harder line on what money buys. Listing is free forever, paid upgrades are one-time rather than monthly, and nothing you pay changes rank: the Heat leaderboard is engagement-only, with sponsorship pinned in separate, labeled slots. Scope is the bigger difference. Alongside MCP servers we index AI agents and agent skills, reviewed by a person and cross-linked, so a server's page can lead you to the agents that use it. Our server count is smaller than theirs today; that is the honest state of a catalog that reviews everything it publishes.
Use mcpservers.org if you want a bigger servers-only list and a cheap, clearly priced dofollow backlink for your project. Use aiagentslisting if you want reviewed listings across agents, servers, and skills, a free tier that stays free, and rankings that no rate card can reach.
