ContextForge is an open source registry and proxy that federates tools, agents, and APIs into one clean endpoint for your AI clients. It provides centralized governance, discovery, and observability across your AI infrastructure:

• Tools Gateway — MCP, REST, gRPC-to-MCP translation, and TOON compression
• Agent Gateway — A2A protocol, OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic agent routing
• API Gateway — Rate limiting, auth, retries, and reverse proxy for REST services
• Plugin Extensibility — 40+ plugins for additional transports, protocols, and integrations
• Observability — OpenTelemetry tracing with Phoenix, Jaeger, Zipkin, and other OTLP backends

It runs as a fully compliant MCP server, deployable via PyPI or Docker, and scales to multi-cluster environments on Kubernetes with Redis-backed federation and caching.
