What it does
ToolHive is a comprehensive platform designed to deploy, manage, and secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It solves the 'shadow MCP' problem by providing a centralized gateway and runtime that ensures every server runs in an isolated container with strict identity and access policies.
Tools
- Semantic Tool Search: Optimizes token usage by filtering tool descriptions based on user intent.
- Identity Enforcement: Integrates with IdPs for OIDC/OAuth compatible SSO.
- Kubernetes Operator: Allows platform teams to declare policies and manage MCP fleets using familiar K8s patterns.
- Audit Logging: Provides full observability with OTel traces and Prometheus metrics.
