ToolHive makes deploying MCP servers easy, secure and fun
ToolHive provides a modular platform with a Registry Server for curated MCP catalogs, a Gateway for policy enforcement and client integration, a Runtime supporting Docker/Kubernetes deployment with OpenTelemetry monitoring, and a Portal UI for discovery and one-click installation. It orchestrates multiple MCP servers into virtual endpoints with deterministic workflows, enforces isolation and fine-grained access control, and integrates with IdP systems (OIDC/OAuth) and AI clients like Cursor and VS Code. Available as a Kubernetes Operator for enterprise fleet management or as a desktop/CLI tool for local development.
About mcp-hub
ravitemer/mcp-hub
A centralized manager for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with dynamic server management and monitoring
Provides a unified HTTP endpoint that aggregates multiple MCP servers with automatic capability namespacing, allowing any MCP client to access all managed servers without individual configuration. Supports local STDIO servers and remote endpoints via streamable-http/SSE transports with OAuth 2.0 and automatic reconnection. Built-in REST API, real-time SSE events, and VS Code configuration compatibility enable dynamic server management, hot reload, and environment variable interpolation.
