toolhive-cloud-ui

toolhive-cloud-ui is a Next.js web UI that lets you visualize MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers running in your infrastructure, surfacing metadata and providing copy-ready endpoints to speed up AI agent integrations. It relies on toolhive-registry-server as a backend implementing the MCP Registry API and uses OIDC-based authentication (with an OIDC mock and MSW mock API for local development).

Best When

You already run MCP servers and use (or can deploy) toolhive-registry-server, and you want a UI to browse registry data and quickly copy endpoints for agent configuration.

Avoid When

You need a standalone API/SDK only (no UI), or you cannot or do not want to use OIDC authentication and the registry backend.

Use Cases

  • Browse and manage MCP servers registered in your infrastructure
  • Copy-ready integration URLs/endpoints for wiring MCP tools into AI agents
  • Admin/ops visibility into tool capabilities and server metadata
  • Development/testing of MCP Registry integrations using local mocks

Not For

  • Not an MCP client/runtime that runs tools itself
  • Not a production-grade MCP server hosting solution
  • Not a replacement for the registry backend (toolhive-registry-server) or direct MCP server access

Authentication

Methods: OIDC (via BETTER_AUTH_URL/BETTER_AUTH_SECRET configuration) Local OIDC mock for development
OAuth: Yes Scopes: No

Authentication is described as an OIDC flow with an OIDC mock for dev. The UI requires OIDC-related env vars in production. Specific authorization scopes/roles are not described in the provided content.

Pricing

Free tier: No
Requires CC: No

No SaaS pricing is mentioned; this appears to be open-source software you deploy. The only referenced external-cost item is an optional OpenRouter API key for an AI Assistant feature.

Known Gotchas

  • This repo is a UI; programmatic MCP tool access likely depends on toolhive-registry-server and the MCP servers themselves.
  • Authentication must be configured (OIDC); local dev relies on an OIDC mock and MSW for API behavior.
  • Copy-ready endpoints are UI-oriented; if you need machine-first integration, prefer consuming the MCP Registry API directly.
