Why ToolHive?

• Instant deployment: Start any MCP server with a simple graphical workflow.
• 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: Runs on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
• Seamless integration: ToolHive auto-configures popular clients like GitHub

Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and more.

How it works

Under the hood, ToolHive runs each MCP server in its own secure container and exposes an HTTP/SSE proxy that MCP clients connect to.

For more advanced use cases, ToolHive is also available as a command-line tool which can be used standalone or side-by-side with the ToolHive UI and as a Kubernetes Operator. Learn more in the .
