Obot: MCP vendor profile
Obot is an open-source platform that hosts MCP servers, exposes them through a governed MCP gateway as virtual MCP servers, and keeps MCP and Agent Skills catalogs behind the MCP Registry API, as documented by the vendor. Obot can inspect, reject or modify MCP requests and responses with MCP or webhook filters (docs.obot.ai).

What it does for this layer
Obot docs describe Obot as "an open-source platform for organizations to manage, secure, and govern their AI ecosystems", with docs at version v0.27.0 on 5 Nov 2026 (docs.obot.ai). Obot's MCP Gateway creates vMCPs from catalog servers with only the tools users need and shares them with users and groups through one connection URL (docs.obot.ai). Obot controls server and tool access by user or identity-provider group and manages MCP OAuth, user and shared credentials, and Kubernetes secret bindings (docs.obot.ai).
Obot hosts npx, uvx and containerised MCP servers as Docker containers or Kubernetes workloads, with domain-based egress rules (docs.obot.ai). Obot runs as Obot Cloud (hosted trial), locally with Docker, or in production on Kubernetes with a Helm chart (docs.obot.ai). Obot's LLM Gateway connects clients to OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Azure and Responses-compatible providers and records token usage and estimated cost (docs.obot.ai).
Obot's MCP and Skills Registries can be curated in Obot or indexed from Git repositories, and expose MCP catalogs through the standard MCP Registry API (docs.obot.ai).

What it does not do
- Obot's docs and home page read here give no price for Obot Cloud or the enterprise edition.
- Obot is not a public directory of MCP servers; its catalogs are curated per organisation.
