Obot is an open-source platform built to help organizations adopt and operate Model Context Protocol (MCP) capabilities in a centralized, production-friendly way. It combines multiple MCP building blocks into one system, including hosting for MCP servers, a registry for discovery, a gateway layer to route access, and a standards-compliant chat client experience. The project is aimed at solving common enterprise rollout problems such as reliably hosting servers for internal and external users, curating “approved” MCP servers for employees to find, and enforcing authentication, access control, and auditable activity. It also supports building richer agents and chatbots that can leverage MCP servers while keeping operations manageable for IT and platform teams. The platform is designed to work with a variety of workflows and clients, so MCP servers managed inside Obot can be used by automation/agent frameworks as well as popular chat clients that speak MCP.
