mcp-context-forge and authmcp-gateway
These tools are complements: IBM/mcp-context-forge provides a unified AI gateway, registry, and proxy for various APIs, while loglux/authmcp-gateway specifically secures MCP server access with JWT authentication, real-time monitoring, and an admin dashboard, meaning loglux/authmcp-gateway could be used to secure the MCP servers that IBM/mcp-context-forge then fronts and manages.
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.
