Glama MCP Registry Scraper

🔎 Glama MCP Registry Scraper for Server Data

This Actor is for developers, AI tooling teams, registry builders, and product researchers who need public Glama MCP server data. It saves one dataset row for each first eligible server match, with identity, descriptions, Glama attributes, MCP capability data, environment settings, repository facts, and mechanical readiness fields. Use it to search or browse the registry and export records for analysis and repeat lookup.

• Browse public listings with Glama MCP Registry.
• Search server names, descriptions, namespaces, and attributes with Glama MCP Server Search.
• Look up exact public IDs with MCP Server Details.
• Find remote-capable database servers with MCP Server Metadata.
• Browse TypeScript servers with MCP Server Directory.

📦 Glama server records

Each saved row is one Glama MCP server. Rows keep the source-native name, namespace, slug, description, attributes, repository links, license, language, star count, and source update time when Glama exposes them. They also include environment variables, the source environment schema, mechanical readiness facts, and source-backed tools, resources, and prompts when those records are available.

If a server matches more than once from submitted search terms or IDs, the Actor saves the first eligible match and ignores later matches. It does not combine later matches into the saved row.

🚀 Browse, search, or look up Glama servers

Set target to catalog to browse the public Glama catalog, search to find servers by text, or serverDetails to look up exact public server IDs. Add search terms to searchQueries, exact IDs to serverIds, and filters when you use Catalog or Search. Values in sections for other choices are ignored.

Start with the prefilled github search query and the prefilled Maximum servers value of 144 for a first run. Then open the dataset in the run results.

🧾 Input

Fill the discovery method and the fields that belong to it. For Catalog and Search, filters narrow the matching servers. For Server details, use one or more exact Glama server IDs.

Field	Type	What it does
target	string	Chooses one discovery method: Catalog, Search, or Server details.
searchQueries	array of strings	Searches server names, descriptions, namespaces, and Glama attributes. Use it with Search.
serverIds	array of strings	Lists exact Glama server IDs to look up. Use it with Server details.
attributeFilters	array of strings	For Catalog and Search, keeps servers with all listed Glama attributes.
languageFilters	array of strings	For Catalog and Search, keeps servers whose repository uses one of the listed primary languages.
maxItems	integer	For Catalog and Search, stops after this many saved servers. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.

Example input from a successful current-beta run:

{
  "target": "search",
  "searchQueries": [
    "github"
  ],
  "maxItems": 144

❓ FAQ

What if a server matches more than one search query?

The first eligible match is saved. Later matches for the same server are ignored, so one row does not collect evidence from later matches.

Can I look up a server when I know its Glama ID?

Yes. Set target to serverDetails and add one or more exact IDs to serverIds.

What does an empty Maximum servers field do?

It returns all available results until the source is exhausted. This work limit applies to Catalog and Search.

Why are tools, resources, or prompts empty?

Those arrays stay empty when Glama does not expose source-backed records for the server. The Actor does not invent capability data.

Do I need a Glama account or API key?

No. The Actor reads public Glama registry and public repository data, so you do not need a Glama account, API key, cookies, or private workspace access.

Does this Actor call the listed MCP servers?

No. It exports public registry data and does not connect to or execute the listed servers or their tools. It also does not validate credentials.

Can I collect Smithery or MCP.so in the same dataset?

No. This Actor is Glama-only. It does not combine Smithery, MCP.so, PulseMCP, the official MCP Registry, or other directories. Use a registry-specific Actor for another directory.

What happens when repository facts are missing?

They stay null or empty instead of being guessed. This can include repository language, stars, homepage, update time, and capability records. Rows keep the source data Glama provides.

Are readiness fields a safety or quality score?

No. They are mechanical fields from visible Glama metadata, not AI recommendations or security checks.
