1. litellm

   1 102 50,198 10.0 Python

   Python SDK, Proxy Server (AI Gateway) to call 100+ LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format, with cost tracking, guardrails, loadbalancing and logging. [Bedrock, Azure, OpenAI, VertexAI, Cohere, Anthropic, Sagemaker, HuggingFace, VLLM, NVIDIA NIM]

3. mcp-context-forge

   2 8 3,864 9.9 Python

   An AI Gateway, registry, and proxy that sits in front of any MCP, A2A, or REST/gRPC APIs, exposing a unified endpoint with centralized discovery, guardrails and management. Optimizes Agent & Tool calling, and supports plugins.

   

   Project mention: Every AI toolchain is inventing its own safety layer. We shipped one that works across all of them. | dev.to | 2026-05-12

   Anthropic shipped Claude Code hooks — PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Notification, and friends. They run as subprocesses, get JSON on stdin, and decide whether the tool call proceeds. OpenAI ships tool guardrails in the Agents SDK — Python (and now TS) callables you attach to a tool, with tripwire booleans that abort the run. The MCP ecosystem is sprouting gateways and proxies for the same purpose: MCPX, IBM ContextForge, Microsoft's MCP Gateway, Lasso Security's MCP Gateway — all reasonable answers to the same wire-level question.

11. sift-gateway

    10 2 30 9.5 Python

    Reliability gateway for AI tool output: schema-stable, secret-safe, pagination-complete JSON for MCP and CLI agents.

    

    Project mention: Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026) | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-08

    I’m building *Sift*, a drop-in gateway that makes LLM tool use far more reliable when tools return large JSON payloads. The usual pattern is that agents paste raw tool outputs directly into the prompt, which quickly blows up context, causes truncation/compaction, and leads to incorrect answers once earlier results disappear. Sift sits between the model and its tools (MCP, APIs, CLIs), stores the full payload locally as an artifact (indexed in SQLite), and returns only a compact schema plus an `artifact_id`. When the model needs something from the data, it runs a tiny Python query against the stored artifact instead of reasoning over thousands of tokens of JSON. In benchmarks across 103 questions on real datasets, this approach cut input tokens by ~95% and improved answer accuracy from ~33% to ~99%.

14. publsp

    13 0 22 8.5 Python

    LN liquidity offers/purchases over Nostr

    

15. OPNsense Gateway Healthcheck – A Dockerized Monitoring Helper Tool

    14 0 22 6.0 Python

    A Python-based Flask application to monitor the health of gateways in an OPNsense network. The application provides endpoints to check the health status of all gateways, specific gateways by name or address, and lists of healthy or unhealthy gateways. These gateways can include both internet service provider (ISP) and VPN-based gateways.

    

16. codecontext

    15 2 2 - Python

    Reduce your LLM costs by 40-70% automatically. Routes prompts locally, compacts context, tracks real savings. (by batish52)

    

    Project mention: I Tracked Every LLM API Call For a Week — 65% Were Unnecessary | dev.to | 2026-04-20

    So I built promptrouter — a gateway that sits between your code and the LLM API. For every prompt, it decides:

17. openapi-mcp-gateway

    16 1 1 - Python

    One command turns any OpenAPI/Swagger spec, or your existing FastAPI app, into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Mount several APIs on one gateway with Bearer, API Key, and OAuth2 (authorization_code, client_credentials) auth built in. Plug into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP client.
