MCP Context Forge is a feature-rich gateway and registry that federates Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and traditional REST services behind a single, governed endpoint. It exposes an MCP-compliant interface to clients while handling discovery, authentication, rate limiting, retries, and observability on the server side. The gateway scales horizontally, supports multi-cluster deployments on Kubernetes, and uses Redis for federation and caching across instances. Operators can define virtual servers, wire multiple transports, and optionally enable an admin UI for management and monitoring. Packaged for quick starts via PyPI and Docker, it targets production reliability with health checks, metrics, and structured logs. The project positions itself as an integration hub so agentic apps can “connect once, use many” backends with consistent policy and lifecycle control.
