Launch any MCP server in a locked-down container with just a few clicks. No manual setup, no security headaches, no runtime hassles. ## Quick links - 🚀 [Quickstart](https://docs.stacklok.com/toolhive/guides-ui/quickstart) - install ToolHive and run your first MCP server - 📚 [Documentation](https://docs.stacklok.com/toolhive/) - learn more about ToolHive's features - 💬 [Discord community](https://discord.gg/stacklok) - connect with the ToolHive community, ask questions, and share your experiences - 🛠️ [Developer guide](./docs/README.md) - build, test, and contribute to the ToolHive UI --- ## 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. --- ## Getting started To get started with ToolHive, download the latest release from [the website](https://toolhive.dev/download/) and follow the [quickstart guide](https://docs.stacklok.com/toolhive/guides-ui/quickstart). --- ## 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 [ToolHive documentation](https://docs.stacklok.com/toolhive/). --- ## Privacy and telemetry ToolHive uses [Sentry](https://sentry.io/) for error tracking and performance monitoring to help us identify and fix issues, improve stability, and enhance the user experience.
