ToolAtlas — Discover, Govern, and Optimize MCP Tools

Project description

ToolAtlas-MCP

The Control Plane for Your MCP Tools

PyPI version Python License

ToolAtlas sits between AI clients and MCP servers — giving you a central registry, intelligent proxy, per-tool governance, usage analytics, and a beautiful web dashboard.

pip install toolatlas-mcp
toolatlas start
# → http://localhost:8080

Why ToolAtlas?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is exploding. Teams run 5, 10, 50 MCP servers — GitHub, Jira, Slack, Confluence, databases, APIs. Each exposes tools your AI agents can call. ToolAtlas is the missing layer that helps you see everything, control what matters, and understand usage.


Features

🔌 Universal MCP Proxy

Connect any number of MCP servers and expose them through a single proxy endpoint. Group tools by team, project, or purpose using proxies — each with its own tool set and settings.

🛡️ Per-Tool Governance

  • Enable/disable tools per proxy — block dangerous operations without touching the server
  • Custom descriptions — override tool descriptions so AI understands them in context
  • Alias tools — rename tools per proxy for clarity

🏷️ Tool Registry & Discovery

  • Auto-discover tools from any MCP server (SSE or stdio)
  • Tag, domain, and annotate tools with business context
  • Glossary terms — link tools to business concepts for richer descriptions

📊 Usage Analytics

  • Every tool call is automatically tracked with duration, success/failure, and arguments
  • Dashboard shows top tools, latency trends, and error rates
  • Drill into individual call traces with full event timelines

🌐 Web Dashboard

Full React SPA for managing everything without touching the CLI:

  • Servers, proxies, tools, glossary, analytics
  • Edit tool metadata inline
  • Real-time stats

Quick Start

1. Install

pip install toolatlas-mcp

2. Start

toolatlas start

Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

3. Add an MCP Server

# SSH-based MCP server
toolatlas server add my-github \
  --transport stdio \
  --command "npx" \
  --args "-y" "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"

Or add SSE servers via the web UI.

4. Create a Proxy

toolatlas proxy add dev --description "Developer tools"
toolatlas proxy link dev my-github

5. Connect Your AI Client

Point your MCP client to:

http://localhost:8080/proxy/dev/message/{session_id}

Clients speak MCP to ToolAtlas. ToolAtlas enforces governance, logs everything, and forwards to the real MCP servers.
