About mcp-context-forge
IBM/mcp-context-forge
An AI Gateway, registry, and proxy that sits in front of any MCP, A2A, or REST/gRPC APIs, exposing a unified endpoint with centralized discovery, guardrails and management. Optimizes Agent & Tool calling, and supports plugins.
Implements gRPC-to-MCP translation via server reflection and REST-to-MCP adaptation with automatic JSON Schema extraction, while providing OpenTelemetry-based observability across multiple backends (Phoenix, Jaeger, Zipkin). Runs as a native MCP server with 40+ plugins for protocol extensibility, Redis-backed caching for multi-cluster deployments, and built-in auth, rate-limiting, and retry policies across federated tool, agent, and API gateways.
