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.
