I built MCPBox — a local control plane / gateway for managing MCP servers by project.

The problem I ran into was pretty simple: once you start using multiple MCP servers, the setup gets messy fast. Different tools, different endpoints, different configs, and it becomes annoying to manage.

So I made MCPBox.

What it does right now:

  • group MCP servers by project
  • expose one MCP endpoint per project
  • embedded UI for managing servers
  • inspect tools/capabilities visually
  • pause / disable servers when needed
  • audit/logging support
  • supports local STDIO servers and remote HTTP streaming servers

What it is not right now:

  • not multi-user
  • no auth yet
  • not trying to be a full observability platform
  • still an early first release

Repo:
GitHub: github.com/ArturSaleev/MCPBox

First release:
github.com/ArturSaleev/MCPBox/releases/tag/v1.0.0

I wrote the first version very recently, so I’d really like feedback on:

  • whether the “one endpoint per project” model makes sense
  • what’s missing in the UI
  • whether auth / permissions should be the next priority
  • what kind of MCP workflow this would actually help with in real usage
