About the project

ContextForge is an open-source gateway and registry that brings MCP, A2A, REST, and gRPC tools, agents, and APIs together behind one endpoint. It helps teams discover, govern, observe, authenticate, and route calls across AI infrastructure. The catalogue add-ons support operating and extending this gateway.
