ToolHive is an open-source MCP server management platform that lets you run, secure, and orchestrate Model Context Protocol servers in isolated containers, giving AI agents structured access to tools like GitHub, databases, and cloud services without exposing host credentials or network. Every server launches inside its own sandboxed container with a minimal permission file, network access filtering, and encrypted secrets management, preventing misbehaving connectors from reaching beyond their defined scope. The built-in registry provides a catalog of vetted servers you can install with one command, while custom images and package-manager references let you onboard proprietary connectors without writing Dockerfiles. Platform teams deploy the Kubernetes operator to declare MCP servers as cluster resources using Custom Resource Definitions, with automated lifecycle management and multi-namespace isolation. The Virtual MCP Server gateway aggregates multiple backends behind a single endpoint, centralizing OIDC authentication, tool filtering, and composite cross-server workflows so clients connect once instead of juggling separate URLs. An MCP Optimizer analyzes tool schemas via semantic search and surfaces only relevant tools per request, cutting token consumption by up to 85%. OpenTelemetry traces and Prometheus metrics deliver full visibility into tool execution, latency, and request audit trails across every managed server. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
