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 toolhive-cloud-ui
stacklok/toolhive-cloud-ui
ToolHive Cloud UI surfaces MCP servers running in your infrastructure, highlighting metadata, tool capabilities, and copy-ready endpoints for fast AI agent integrations.
Implements OIDC-based authentication with pluggable providers (Okta, etc.) and uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) Registry API to catalog and display tool capabilities from distributed servers. Built as a Next.js application with auto-generated OpenAPI client bindings, supporting multiple development modes (full mock stack, hybrid, or production services) and deployable via Docker or Kubernetes with Helm charts.
