Welcome to 2026! The ToolHive team is back into the swing of things after the holiday break, focusing on improved operational resilience and streamlined developer workflows: vMCP gained backend health monitoring for production environments, the CLI and desktop UI added bearer token authorization for remote servers, the desktop UI added flexible proxy configuration, and Cloud UI now displays MCP configurations for your IDE clients, with one-click setup for Cursor.

This week ToolHive added production-ready features that teams need for enterprise deployment: audit logging and health monitoring for vMCP, API-driven registry management, and direct registry connections in the UI.

This week, we focused on operational readiness and flexibility: the Registry Server now auto-discovers server types and scales sync across multiple registry instances, Virtual MCP Server (vMCP) gained OpenTelemetry observability and smarter composite tools, and both the CLI and UI now fully support the ToolHive Registry Server.

A big week for ToolHive: we shipped a new Registry Server for managing and curating MCP servers at scale, expanded the ToolHive UI with registry-based installs and richer tool controls, and introduced Virtual MCP Server (vMCP) for consolidating many MCP backends into one secure, workflow-aware endpoint.

We're launching this Updates section to keep you informed about what's new with ToolHive.
