MartechDB vs PulseMCP
PulseMCP maps the whole MCP world. MartechDB covers the martech part, official servers only.
01
What PulseMCP is
PulseMCP is a daily-updated directory of MCP servers and clients, listing more than 20,000 servers. It labels servers as official, Anthropic reference or community, and has a filter for servers you can use remotely. It offers a sub-registry API for partners and publishes The Agentic Loop, a fortnightly newsletter. As of October 2026 new submissions are paused while it reworks its listings, and it asks authors to publish to the official MCP Registry, which it picks up automatically.
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.

Does MartechDB use the MCP Registry too?

Can I use both?
Yes. PulseMCP is good for the wider ecosystem. MartechDB is narrower and stricter.
