ToolHive: The open-source way to run any MCP server securely

Stacklok released ToolHive, an open-source platform that runs Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in containers to securely connect artificial intelligence (AI) clients to external tools. By containerizing MCP servers, the solution isolates each server's access to credentials and network resources, reducing the blast radius of compromised integrations. ToolHive is available under Apache 2.0 and includes a Kubernetes operator and registry for self-hosting.

Why it matters: Security teams and AI tool operators need to evaluate containerized MCP deployment as an alternative to running server processes directly on machines with full system privileges, reducing lateral movement risk when integrating third-party AI connectors.
