# ToolHive Desktop UI
> [!NOTE] This is an experimental project that is under active development and
> testing. Features may change without notice.
**Run any Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — securely, instantly, anywhere.**
ToolHive is the easiest way to discover, deploy, and manage MCP servers. Launch
any MCP server in a locked-down container with just a few clicks. No manual
setup, no security headaches, no runtime hassles.
## Quick links

- 🛠️ [Developer guide](./docs/README.md) - build, test, and contribute to the
ToolHive UI

## Why ToolHive?
- **Instant deployment:** Start any MCP server with a simple graphical workflow.
- **Secure by default:** Every server runs in an isolated container with only
the permissions it needs. Secrets are managed securely, never in plaintext.
- **Works everywhere:** Runs on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- **Seamless integration:** ToolHive auto-configures popular clients like GitHub
Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and more.
---
## Getting started
To get started with ToolHive, download the latest release from
[the website](https://toolhive.dev/download/) and follow the
[quickstart guide](https://docs.stacklok.com/toolhive/tutorials/quickstart-ui).
---
## How it works
Under the hood, ToolHive runs each MCP server in its own secure container and
exposes an HTTP/SSE proxy that MCP clients connect to.
For more advanced use cases, ToolHive is also available as a command-line tool
which can be used standalone or side-by-side with the ToolHive UI and as a
Kubernetes Operator. Learn more in the
[ToolHive documentation](https://docs.stacklok.com/toolhive/).

## Privacy and telemetry
ToolHive uses [Sentry](https://sentry.io/) for error tracking and performance
monitoring to help us identify and fix issues, improve stability, and enhance
the user experience. This telemetry is enabled by default but completely
optional.
### What data is collected?
- Error reports and crash logs
- Performance metrics
- Usage patterns
### How to opt out
You can easily disable telemetry at any time:
1. Open ToolHive
2. Go to **Settings** (gear icon in the top navigation)
3. Find the **Telemetry** section
4. Toggle off telemetry collection
