File contents

ContextForge (IBM): MCP gateway tập trung — federate nhiều MCP servers, REST APIs, gRPC services qua một managed endpoint với auth, rate limiting, tracing.

Install

# PyPI
pip install mcp-contextforge-gateway

# Docker
docker run ghcr.io/ibm/mcp-context-forge:1.0.0-RC-3

# Kubernetes (Helm)
helm install contextforge ./charts/contextforge

3 Gateway Layers

Tools Gateway   — MCP servers + REST-to-MCP translation
Agent Gateway   — A2A protocol + OpenAI/Anthropic agent routing
API Gateway     — rate limiting + auth + retries + reverse proxy

gRPC → MCP Auto-Translation

# Service reflection auto-converts gRPC → MCP tools
# Không cần viết wrapper thủ công

Unified Registries

Prompts   — Jinja2 templating + versioning
Resources — URI-based + caching + SSE updates
Tools     — native hoặc adapted, input validation

Observability

# OpenTelemetry tracing — any OTLP backend
# Phoenix, Jaeger, Zipkin compatible
# Distributed tracing qua federated gateways
# Automatic instrumentation: tools + resources + operations

Security

JWT authentication
RBAC (role-based access control)
Cross-gateway routing via domain allowlist
Strong JWT secret + admin credentials required

Admin UI

HTMX + Alpine.js — real-time management, config, log monitoring. Airgapped support.

Khi nào dùng

Nhiều MCP servers cần manage tập trung
Cần auth/rate-limit trước khi expose MCP tools
Enterprise: multi-cluster federation + auto-scaling
Muốn OTel tracing xuyên suốt MCP tool calls
