mcp-context-forge and mcp-gateway
These are competitors offering overlapping gateway/proxy functionality for MCP servers, though IBM's solution is broader (supporting multiple API types and registry features) while the hyprmcp tool specializes in OAuth security and analytics.
About mcp-context-forge
IBM/mcp-context-forge
An AI Gateway, registry, and proxy that sits in front of any MCP, A2A, or REST/gRPC APIs, exposing a unified endpoint with centralized discovery, guardrails and management. Optimizes Agent & Tool calling, and supports plugins.
This project helps AI developers and architects consolidate various AI agents, tools, and APIs into a single, managed access point. It takes disparate communication protocols (like MCP, A2A, REST, gRPC) and presents them as a unified, governed endpoint. This allows developers to easily integrate and manage diverse AI capabilities within their applications.
About mcp-gateway
hyprmcp/mcp-gateway
MCP OAuth Proxy incl. dynamic client registration (DCR), MCP prompt analytics and MCP firewall to build enterprise grade MCP servers.
This project helps developers build enterprise-grade Machine Learning Control Plane (MCP) servers by handling complex authentication and security. It takes raw MCP server traffic and adds robust OAuth authorization, producing secure, compliant server interactions. Backend and infrastructure developers who are building or maintaining MCP server infrastructure would use this.
