What is Mcp Forge?
Mcp Forge (MCP-Forge) is a framework for dynamically generating, managing, and monitoring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using the official MCP SDK. It enables you to create specialized MCP servers on demand through a centralized interface, with built-in templating, lifecycle management, auto-scaling, and enterprise-grade security.
How to use Mcp Forge?
Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, and install dependencies from requirements.txt. Start the forge server with python forge_mcp_server.py --port 9000, then use python client.py to create, list, start/stop/restart servers, and access logs, stats, or connect to specific servers. For example: python client.py create name="my-server" capabilities=["echo","time"].
