ToolHive Desktop UI

[!NOTE] This is an experimental project that is under active development and testing. Features may change without notice.

Run any Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — securely, instantly, anywhere.

ToolHive is the easiest way to discover, deploy, and manage MCP servers. 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 - install ToolHive and run your first MCP server
  • 📚 Documentation - learn more about ToolHive's features
  • 💬 Discord community - connect with the ToolHive community, ask questions, and share your experiences
  • 🛠️ Developer guide - 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 and follow the quickstart guide.

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.

ToolHive diagram

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.

Privacy and telemetry

ToolHive uses Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring to help us identify and fix issues, improve stability, and enhance the user experience. This telemetry is enabled by default but completely optional.

What data is collected?

  • Error reports and crash logs
  • Performance metrics
  • Usage patterns

How to opt out

You can easily disable telemetry at any time:

  1. Open ToolHive
  2. Go to Settings (gear icon in the top navigation)
  3. Find the Telemetry section
  4. Toggle off telemetry collection
