ToolHive - simplify and secure MCP servers
Run any Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — securely, instantly, anywhere.
ToolHive is the easiest way to discover, deploy, and manage MCP servers. Launch any MCP server in a locked-down container with a single command. No manual setup, no security headaches, no runtime hassles.
|
## Why ToolHive?
- **Instant deployment:** Start any MCP server with one click or command, using
Docker or Kubernetes.
- **Secure by default:** Every server runs in an isolated container with only
the permissions it needs. Secrets are managed securely, never in plaintext.
- **Works everywhere:** Use the UI and CLI for local development, or the
Kubernetes Operator for production and scale.
- **Seamless integration:** ToolHive auto-configures popular clients like GitHub
Copilot, Cursor, and more.
ToolHive is available as a GUI desktop app, CLI, and Kubernetes Operator.
