# Toolport [](https://github.com/btsouth/toolport/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](https://github.com/btsouth/toolport/releases) [](LICENSE) [](https://discord.gg/Xsn27MxdBA) [](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/tsouth89/toolport) **Set up your MCP servers once. Use them in every AI client.** Toolport is a local gateway for MCP, the protocol that gives AI apps access to tools like GitHub, Slack, and databases. Connect your servers once, then share them across Claude, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, and other clients. [Download](https://toolport.app/download) · [Website & demo](https://toolport.app) · [Discord](https://discord.gg/Xsn27MxdBA)  ## Why Toolport? - **Less context overhead.** Agents search for tools when they need them instead of loading every tool definition up front. See the [benchmarks](BENCHMARK.md). - **One setup for every client.** Add and authenticate each server once. Use profiles to choose which servers each client can access. - **Keys stay local.** Credentials live in your OS keychain, outside client configs. - **Control over tool calls.** Disable tools, require approval for destructive calls, and review activity in one place. - **Shared agent rules.** Write instructions once and apply them to supported clients, with a preview before changes are written. ## Get started 1. [Download Toolport](https://toolport.app/download) for Windows, macOS, or Linux. 2. Add a server from the catalog, import an existing setup, or paste a server config. Curated servers that need launch arguments show a Launch setup section; see [catalog launch setup](docs/catalog-launch-setup.md) for inputs and package status, and the [curation review](docs/catalog-curation-review.md) for selection criteria. 3. Authenticate the server, then open **Clients** and connect your AI apps. Installers and release notes are also on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/btsouth/toolport/releases). On Arch and Omarchy, the [pacman repository](docs/arch-pacman-repo.md) keeps Toolport on your normal update path. ## Documentation - [Supported clients and setup](docs/clients.md) - [Profiles, environment variables, and configuration](docs/configuration.md) - [Agent rules](docs/agent-rules.md) and [permissions](docs/agent-permissions.md) - [Headless gateway and Docker](docs/headless.md) - [Arch and Omarchy install (pacman repository)](docs/arch-pacman-repo.md) - [Open WebUI](docs/openwebui.md) and [agent plugin](packaging/agent-plugin/toolport/README.md) - [Security](SECURITY.md) and [troubleshooting](docs/troubleshooting.md) - [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) ## Development Requires Node.js and stable Rust, plus the platform dependencies described in [Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md). ```sh npm ci npm run build:gateway npm run tauri dev ``` See [Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md) for testing and build instructions. ## Toolport Teams Share server configuration and policies across a team while each member keeps their own credentials.
