Individual developers can get started in minutes with the desktop UI or CLI, then apply the same concepts in enterprise environments.

Key features:

Run any MCP server from a container image, or build one dynamically from common package managers
Manage encrypted secrets and control network isolation with simple, local tooling
Test and validate MCP servers using built-in tools like the official MCP Inspector
Optimize token usage and tool execution with the MCP Optimizer

Get started with the UI: Quickstart, How-to guides
Get started with the CLI: Quickstart, How-to guides, Command reference

MCP guides: learn how to run common MCP servers with ToolHive

Teams and organizations manage MCP servers and registries centrally using familiar Kubernetes workflows.

Key features:

Custom Resource Definitions for MCP servers, registries, and other ToolHive components
Secure execution with container-based isolation and multi-namespace support
Automated service creation and discovery, with ingress integration for secure access
Enterprise-grade security and observability: OIDC/OAuth SSO, secure token exchange, audit logging, OpenTelemetry, and Prometheus metrics
Hybrid registry server: curate from upstream registries, dynamically register local MCP servers, or proxy trusted remote services

ToolHive architecture: Gateway, Registry Server, Runtime, and Portal

ToolHive is built on a modular architecture to streamline secure MCP server management and integration. Here's how the main components work.

Define dedicated endpoints from which your teams can securely and efficiently access tools.

Orchestrate multiple tools into a virtual MCP with a deterministic workflow engine
Define access policies and network endpoints
Centralize control of security policy, authentication, authorization, auditing, etc.
Integrate with your IdP for SSO (OIDC/OAuth compatible)
Customize and filter tools and descriptions to improve performance and reduce token usage
Connect with local clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and VS Code Server

Curate a catalog of trusted servers your teams can quickly discover and deploy.

Integrate with the official MCP registry
Add custom MCP servers
Group servers based on role or use case
Manage your registry with an API-driven interface (or embed in existing workflows for seamless integration and governance)
Verify provenance and sign servers with built-in security controls
Preset configurations and permissions for a frictionless user experience

Deploy, run, and manage MCP servers locally or in a Kubernetes cluster with security guardrails.

Simplify MCP adoption for developers and knowledge workers across your enterprise
