Enterprise-grade platform for running and managing MCP servers securely in isolated containers.
toolhive is worth checking the docs before setup with strong trust signals. Check agent compatibility and use-case fit before adding it to your workflow.
gh repo view stacklok/toolhive --webOpen the official README and confirm the supported install method.
Add the server entry to your MCP client config.
Restart your agent and verify that the server tools appear.

ToolHive lets you run AI tools (MCP servers) in a safe, isolated environment. It works with popular AI assistants like Claude and Cursor. You can self-host it to keep your data private, or use it on Kubernetes for enterprise control.
ToolHive is an open-source platform designed to run Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers securely and at scale. It wraps each MCP server in an isolated container, enforces identity and access policies per request, and provides observability for production use. Key components include a Gateway for defining endpoints, a Registry Server for managing tools, a Runtime for container execution, and a Portal for user interaction. ToolHive integrates with Kubernetes via an operator, supports OTel traces, and reduces token usage by up to 85% through semantic tool search. It is trusted by developers and enterprises for self-hosting MCP servers, ensuring data control and compliance.

Enterprise-grade platform for running and managing MCP servers securely in isolated containers.
Developers using AI coding assistants who need secure MCP server execution., Platform engineers managing MCP infrastructure on Kubernetes., Enterprise teams requiring self-hosted, compliant MCP solutions.
The setup section provides repository-level starting guidance, not a guarantee of an independently verified installation. Check the official README and release notes.
Running arbitrary MCP servers can introduce security risks; ToolHive mitigates with container isolation and policy enforcement. Self-hosting requires operational expertise to manage infrastructure and updates.
