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, Model Context Protocol, AI Agents, and MCP Gateway.

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