Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
Useful for developers and platform teams who want to run MCP servers in production with per-request auth, audit logs, and a Kubernetes operator — without rolling their own proxy, registry, and policy layer.

About this signal
stacklok/toolhive is tracked by RepoRadar as a developer tool in the Radar section. It was first seen on 2026-06-17 and last updated on 2026-06-17. The current verdict is 'try now' with a Silver tier and easy setup difficulty. stacklok/toolhive leads on workflow potential (9.4) and setup ease (8.8); its lowest signal is novelty (7.0), so factor that in before investing setup time. This page summarizes the public evidence on the linked source page and states where additional review is still needed. The score, tier, risk label, and verdict on this page are never influenced by sponsorship, ads, or tips — they reflect only the usefulness, popularity, novelty, momentum, maturity, and evidence signals described in the RepoRadar methodology.
How this item is evaluated
RepoRadar assigned stacklok/toolhive a composite score of 7.9 out of 10, placing it in the Silver tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 74.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'none' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.
