Manufact: MCP vendor profile
Manufact pairs mcp-use, an open-source TypeScript and Python SDK for MCP servers and apps, with Manufact Cloud, which deploys MCP servers from GitHub and tests them across ChatGPT, Claude and coding agents, as documented by the vendor. npx create-mcp-use-app scaffolds an mcp-use project, and a git push deploys it through Manufact's GitHub App with branch previews (manufact.com).

What it does for this layer
Manufact Cloud runs publishing checks and prepares listing materials for the ChatGPT and Claude plugin stores from the same deployed server (manufact.com). Manufact offers an MCP Quality Score, a server tunnel for local MCP servers and an mcp-use Inspector for debugging in the browser (manufact.com). Manufact pricing lists Free with 5 USD of included credits a month and one project, Pay as you go with 10 USD of credits and 10 projects, and Pro at 250 USD a month plus usage with 300 USD of credits (manufact.com).
Manufact says it is two things: mcp-use, an open-source SDK for MCP Apps and servers in TypeScript and Python, and Manufact Cloud, a hosting platform where every push auto-deploys (manufact.com). Manufact cites "10M+" SDK downloads across Python and TypeScript and "10k+" GitHub stars (manufact.com, vendor's own claim). Manufact quotes Y Combinator describing mcp-use as open-source dev tools and infrastructure for MCP (manufact.com).

What it does not do
- Manufact does not act as an identity provider for MCP servers on the pages read.
- Manufact is not a public registry; its catalog ranks servers by its own quality score.
