Open Source Python MCP Gateways

Call all LLM APIs using the OpenAI format [Anthropic, Huggingface, Cohere, Azure OpenAI etc.] liteLLM supports streaming the model response back, pass stream=True to get a streaming iterator in response. Streaming is supported for OpenAI, Azure, Anthropic, and Huggingface models.

MCP Context Forge is a feature-rich gateway and registry that federates Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and traditional REST services behind a single, governed endpoint. It exposes an MCP-compliant interface to clients while handling discovery, authentication, rate limiting, retries, and observability on the server side. The gateway scales horizontally, supports multi-cluster deployments on Kubernetes, and uses Redis for federation and caching across instances. Operators can define virtual servers, wire multiple transports, and optionally enable an admin UI for management and monitoring. Packaged for quick starts via PyPI and Docker, it targets production reliability with health checks, metrics, and structured logs. The project positions itself as an integration hub so agentic apps can “connect once, use many” backends with consistent policy and lifecycle control.

Agent Stack is an open infrastructure platform designed to take AI agents from prototype to production, no matter how they were built. It includes a runtime environment, multi-tenant web UI, catalog of agents, and deployment flow that seeks to remove vendor lock-in and provide greater autonomy. Under the hood it’s built on the “Agent2Agent” (A2A) protocol, enabling interoperability between different agent ecosystems, runtime services, and frameworks. The platform supports agents built in frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, etc., enabling them to be hosted, managed and shared through a unified interface. It also offers multi-model, multi-provider support (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, IBM WatsonX, Ollama etc.), letting users compare performance and cost across models. For developers and organizations building AI-agent products or automations, Agent Stack gives a scaffold that handles the “plumbing”, so they can focus on logic and domain.
