mcp-context-forgeMCP Server41/100 via “plugin system with extensible middleware and custom tool handlers”
An AI Gateway, registry, and proxy that sits in front of any MCP, A2A, or REST/gRPC APIs, exposing a unified endpoint with centralized discovery, guardrails and management. Optimizes Agent & Tool calling, and supports plugins.
Unique: Implements a lifecycle-based plugin system where plugins hook into request/response events (pre-invocation, post-invocation, on-error) rather than replacing core logic, enabling multiple plugins to coexist and compose their effects. Plugins have access to the full service layer for deep integration with gateway internals.
vs others: Unlike monolithic gateways that require forking to add custom logic, ContextForge's plugin system allows organizations to extend behavior without modifying core code, reducing maintenance burden and enabling rapid iteration on custom policies.
