IBM's mcp-context-forge is an AI gateway, registry, and proxy that fronts MCP, A2A, and REST/gRPC APIs through a single unified endpoint. It adds centralized discovery, guardrails, management, optimized agent and tool calling, and plugin support, implemented in Python with FastAPI.
Reach for it when you need one managed gateway layer for discovery, authentication, guardrails, and observability across mixed MCP, A2A, and REST/gRPC backends.
Use it to
- Expose multiple MCP servers through a single endpoint
- Apply guardrails and JWT authentication to agent API calls
- Centralize tool and API discovery in a registry
- Deploy an AI gateway on Kubernetes with Docker
- Observe and manage agent tool-calling traffic
