Docker MCP Gateway
Docker mcp CLI plugin / MCP Gateway
Docker’s MCP Gateway project is a Docker CLI plugin and supporting gateway system designed to run, manage, and securely expose MCP servers using container isolation. It underpins the MCP Toolkit experience in Docker Desktop, but it can also be used independently as a general-purpose MCP operational layer. The core idea is to treat MCP servers like containerized services, giving each server controlled privileges and a lifecycle you can inspect, enable/disable, and reset as needed. Instead of having each AI client manage its own MCP server configuration, the gateway provides a unified interface so multiple clients can connect consistently to the same configured tool surface. The project emphasizes security and operational hygiene by supporting secrets management (to avoid leaking credentials via plain environment variables) and providing built-in OAuth flows for MCP servers that require authenticated service access. -

Octelium
A next-gen FOSS self-hosted unified zero trust secure access platform
Octelium is an open source, self-hosted unified secure-access platform built for modern infrastructure and hybrid environments. It positions itself as more than a typical VPN; it supports zero-trust network access (ZTNA), “BeyondCorp”-style access, API/AI gateway functionality, and even serves as a PaaS-like deployment surface. One of its key strengths is identity-based, application-layer (L7) aware control, meaning access decisions are made per request, with context and policy rather than simple network-level allow/block rules. It supports both client-based (e.g., WireGuard/QUIC tunnels) and client-less access models, which makes it flexible for both human users and automated workloads. The project also highlights self-hosted, no hidden “server-side” locked components, giving organizations greater ownership and control over access, rather than relying on proprietary SaaS. -

Unla
Gateway service that instantly transforms existing MCP Servers
Unla is a lightweight, highly available MCP gateway written in Go that turns existing MCP servers or ordinary HTTP APIs into MCP-compliant services through configuration, not code changes. Its goal is to let teams “wire up” tools they already run—internal REST endpoints, third-party APIs, or local MCP servers—and present a single, reliable MCP interface to clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and IDEs. The gateway focuses on operational concerns you’d expect in production: multi-instance availability, health checking, and declarative routing that maps upstreams to MCP tools and resources. A quick-start and CLI make it easy to stand up an API server, while the package structure exposes helpers for people who want to embed or extend the gateway. Because it is itself MCP-speaking, Unla can sit in front of mixed fleets and normalize transports and schemas for clients. Documentation and pkg.go.dev pages reinforce the positioning as a stable, Go-native building block for MCP deployments. -
