Toolhouse is a backend-as-a-service for AI agents: define an agent in plain language or code and deploy it as an API in one command. Agents connect automatically to the Toolhouse MCP server, which provides RAG, memory, code execution, browser use, and 1,000+ tool integrations over the Model Context Protocol.

Pros & cons

  • Deploy agents as APIs in one command
  • 1,000+ MCP tool integrations built in
  • Built-in RAG, memory, and code execution
  • Free tier includes OpenAI model usage
  • Free Sandbox capped at 50 agent runs/month
  • Vendor-hosted; less control than self-hosting
  • Younger platform with a smaller ecosystem

    Composio

    Composio

    1000+ authenticated toolkits for AI agents, via MCP or API.

    Tool layer that gives AI agents secure, managed access to 1000+ toolkits and 20,000+ tools across SaaS apps, exposed via MCP or direct APIs. It handles authentication, tool search, and context management, and its MCP Gateway hands each team a managed endpoint to paste into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT. The core is MIT-licensed; a free tier covers 20K tool calls per month.

    Worth knowing

    Founded 2023 by Soham Ganatra and Karan Vaidya; raised a $25M round led by Lightspeed in 2025.

    Arcade

    Arcade

    The MCP runtime for secure, authenticated agent tool-calling.

    A platform that lets AI agents take real, authenticated actions across business systems like Gmail, GitHub, Slack, and Notion. Arcade handles the hard part of agent tool-use — secure, per-user authorization — so a tool call runs with the actual end user's permissions rather than a shared API key. It ships agent-optimized prebuilt tools plus an open framework for building custom ones, exposed over MCP. A free tier is available for getting started.

    Worth knowing

    Co-authored with Anthropic the OAuth authorization proposal accepted into the MCP spec; raised a $12M seed in 2025.

    Smithery

    Smithery

    Registry and hosting platform for Model Context Protocol servers.

    A central hub for the MCP ecosystem: browse, install, and configure thousands of community-built MCP servers from one place, or deploy your own to Smithery's infrastructure and access it remotely. The CLI installs and manages servers without hand-editing JSON config, and the hosted tier adds managed OAuth and persistent connections so agents get authenticated tool access. Lists over 6,000 servers across developer tools, data connectors, and productivity integrations.

    Worth knowing

    Only its CLI is open-source (AGPL-3.0); the 6,000+ server registry and hosting itself is a closed platform that adds managed OAuth.
