mcp-context-forge is a Model Context Protocol federation gateway that unifies diverse AI tool servers and APIs into a single consistent interface for discovery and execution. It acts as a centralized proxy that aggregates multiple servers and APIs, allowing AI agents to access and invoke a unified set of tools, prompts, and resources.
The project distinguishes itself through a multi-protocol translation bridge that converts communication between standard I/O, SSE, gRPC, and REST to enable interoperability between disparate tool servers. It includes a comprehensive LLM evaluation framework for assessing model output quality, safety, and grounding, alongside an AI tool governance platform that enforces role-based access control and content guardrails.
The system provides a broad surface of capabilities including AI agent observability via OpenTelemetry, enterprise identity integration through OIDC and SAML, and secure code execution within sandboxed environments. It also features extensive content management utilities for processing documents, spreadsheets, and code, as well as traffic management tools such as circuit breakers and rate limiting.
The project can be deployed using Helm charts for Kubernetes or via Docker Compose, with support for air-gapped installations.
