ToolHive (by Stacklok) packages MCP servers as composable runtimes with auth, secrets, and audit logging. Aimed at teams that want to deploy MCP servers in production without each operator having to hand-roll OAuth + process supervision.

What it does

  • Runs every MCP server in an isolated container with a minimal permission file, so no local credentials are exposed
  • Semantic tool search filters tool descriptions before they reach the client — the README cites up to 85% token savings
  • Kubernetes operator for declaring policies on existing K8s infrastructure, with IdP integration, OTel traces, and audit logs
  • Modular Gateway / Registry Server / Runtime architecture, driven through the thv CLI and a UI

When to use it

For platform and security teams putting MCP into production with isolation, access control, and audit trails — and for enterprises whose compliance rules prohibit SaaS MCP processing, since ToolHive can be fully self-hosted.

Getting started

Install from stacklok.com/download, then follow the CLI quickstart at docs.stacklok.com/toolhive/guides-cli/quickstart (desktop-app and Kubernetes-operator quickstarts are separate). The CLI binary is thv.

Things to know

The up-to-85% token-savings figure is the vendor's own claim from its README. Stacklok Enterprise is a separate commercial tier beyond the Apache-2.0 open-source core.
