It’s been an incredible year building Smithery alongside the MCP community. I'm proud that we've built something that helped process millions of tool calls and made 10K+ MCPs from developers around the world more discoverable.

My co-founder @kamathematic is joining Arcade to keep building toward our vision of making tool calls the new clicks.
