🌳 MCPJungle 🌳

What is 🌳 MCPJungle 🌳?

🌳 MCPJungle 🌳 is a self-hosted MCP gateway that lets developers and teams manage multiple MCP servers behind a single endpoint. Instead of configuring each AI client separately, you register servers once in MCPJungle and connect Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or custom agents to one unified MCP gateway.

How to use 🌳 MCPJungle 🌳?

Start the server via Docker Compose (docker compose up -d), then use the CLI (mcpjungle register) to add MCP servers. Connect clients by pointing them to the streamable HTTP endpoint at http://localhost:8080/mcp. The CLI is available via Homebrew or from the Releases page. Stdio-based servers require a special Docker image tagged latest-stdio.
