IBM/mcp-context-forge
IBM/mcp-context-forge is a production-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway designed to unify and manage MCP and REST services through a single, secure, scalable, and feature-rich interface tailored for AI clients. It acts as a gateway, proxy, and MCP registry that federates multiple MCP and REST services, providing a unified endpoint that simplifies discovery, authentication, rate-limiting, observability, and multi-transport protocol support. The gateway supports virtualization of legacy APIs as MCP-compliant tools and servers, enabling seamless integration of diverse backend services. The project supports various transport protocols including HTTP, JSON-RPC, WebSocket, Server-Sent Events (SSE), stdio, and streamable HTTP, making it flexible for different communication needs. It includes an optional Admin UI for real-time management and configuration, enhancing usability and operational control. The gateway is fully compliant with MCP server standards and can be deployed via PyPI or Docker, with scalability options for multi-cluster environments on Kubernetes, backed by Redis for federation and caching. Key features include federation across multiple MCP and REST services, virtual servers, built-in authentication, observability, retries, rate-limiting, and support for multi-cluster deployments. It also offers tools for local tool discovery, persistent database options, and integration with cloud platforms like IBM Cloud Code Engine. The project provides comprehensive documentation, including quick start guides, configuration options, API endpoints, and deployment instructions. Overall, IBM/mcp-context-forge serves as a robust and versatile gateway solution for managing and unifying AI-related services using the Model Context Protocol, facilitating easier integration, management, and scaling of AI service ecosystems.
