How many directories accept an MCP server?

24 of the directories we tested accept an MCP server and are worth submitting to. 4 of them have a free listing with no badge, backlink, post or queue condition.

Can an AI agent submit an MCP server to these directories?

On 13 of the 24 an agent could finish the form alone in our runs. The rest need one human step such as an inbox link, a captcha or a real name; the Submit Kit lists those steps so you can do them in one sitting.

Do these directories give dofollow backlinks?

We checked the live link on 6 of the 24; 1 was dofollow. Where we did not check, the list says unknown rather than guessing. No listing promises traffic or rankings.
