Manufact
An open-source SDK and zero-config hosting for Model Context Protocol servers, so an MCP tool is a deploy rather than an infrastructure project.
Highlights
- One-command scaffolding to start a new MCP app
- An open-source mcp-use SDK in TypeScript and Python, MIT-licensed
- Typed schemas flowing from tools through to structured results
- Native React views bound directly to tools for interactive MCP apps
- A built-in inspector for sandbox testing without a live model
- Auto-deployment via GitHub with per-branch preview deployments
- One build published to ChatGPT, Claude, and other MCP clients
- Built-in auth providers plus marketplace submission checklists

About Manufact
What it is
Manufact pairs mcp-use, an open-source SDK in TypeScript and Python, with a hosting platform for Model Context Protocol servers and apps targeting assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. The premise is that writing an MCP server should not also mean solving hosting, authentication and scaling.
Why it's different
MCP's design makes every integration its own server, and that operational tax is the reason most MCP servers are local hobby projects rather than things teams depend on. Removing it is the right problem to pick. The open SDK matters as much as the hosting, because it means the code you write is not trapped — you can host it yourself if the platform disappears, which is a real consideration in an ecosystem this young. What to weigh: MCP itself is new and its conventions are still moving, and a hosted server means your tool calls and credentials pass through a third party, which is a security decision rather than a convenience one.
How people use it
It is used by teams who want an internal API available to their assistants without standing up and maintaining a server per integration, and by developers publishing tools for others to use. The pattern that works is building against the open SDK, deploying to the platform for speed, and keeping the option of self-hosting the things that touch anything sensitive.
