Obot

Obot AI (formerly Acorn Labs) builds an open-source MCP Gateway and platform that gives organizations a central control point for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and AI agent Skills. Obot lets teams host local, remote, and multi-tenant MCP servers, publish an internal MCP catalog/registry, enforce OAuth-based access control and policy, and capture audit logs across every agent integration. It ships a built-in chat client with multi-model support, an enterprise edition with Okta and Microsoft Entra identity, and the companion Nanobot framework for building standalone MCP hosts. Written in Go and MIT-licensed, Obot self-hosts on Docker or Kubernetes.

Obot is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, MCP, AI Agents, MCP Gateway, and Open-Source.

Obot’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, authentication, CLI, and 14 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/obot: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
