MartechDB vs Glama
Glama grades every MCP server it can find. MartechDB lists only the martech servers vendors publish.
01
What Glama is
Glama runs one of the largest MCP server registries, with close to 100,000 servers as of October 2026. Each server gets A to F grades for licence, quality and maintenance. Glama also offers MCP hosting, a gateway, an inspector tool and an AI workspace, and a directory API that needs an API key.
MartechDB lists only the official MCP servers that martech vendors publish themselves: 1,552 vendors and 1,662 servers as of today. The data is free on the web, in a JSON API and through our own MCP server, and vendors can't pay to be listed.

Questions
Why are the numbers so different?
Glama indexes servers of every kind, including many community projects. MartechDB lists only martech vendors, and only their official servers.
Can I use both?
Yes. Glama's grades are useful for open-source servers. MartechDB tells you whether a marketing vendor has its own.
