About ToolHive
ToolHive, from Stacklok, is a desktop app for working with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It installs and runs MCP servers and manages them in one place, then connects them to AI agents and coding assistants so those tools can use the servers' capabilities.
The app is open source under the Apache 2.0 licence and is under active development, with recent commits in October 2026. It suits developers who use several MCP servers and want a graphical way to manage them instead of editing configuration by hand.
