Open-source MCP router from Klavis AI that progressively exposes actions from multiple configured MCP servers instead of flooding Claude with every tool.
Strata can execute tools on every enabled downstream MCP server; treat it as a privileged router, not a harmless discovery layer., Review each downstream server before adding it, because Strata can route file, browser, database, SaaS, shell, or write-capable actions through one interface., The HTTP/SSE mode starts an ASGI server and the source currently binds uvicorn to all interfaces; restrict network exposure with firewall rules, reverse proxies, or local-only deployment., Store bearer tokens, OAuth credentials, headers, and environment variables in a secret manager or private config file rather than committing Strata configuration., Disable or remove servers that should not be available to a specific project, user, or model session.
Privacy notes
Strata stores configured server names, commands, URLs, headers, and environment variables in a local JSON configuration file., User prompts, action discovery queries, tool schemas, tool arguments, and downstream server responses can all become visible to the MCP client and model provider., Routed tools may expose third-party account data, files, repositories, browser state, database rows, or workspace context depending on which servers are enabled., Hosted Klavis APIs and SDKs are separate from the local open-source router; review Klavis account, API-key, and data-handling terms before using hosted instances.

Disclosure
Klavis AI also offers hosted MCP integration APIs and managed Strata services; this entry focuses on the open-source `strata-mcp` router in the public repo.
Klavis Strata is an open-source MCP router that sits between Claude and a set of
configured MCP servers. Instead of exposing every downstream tool at once, it
provides a smaller set of discovery, inspection, execution, documentation
search, and authentication helper tools.
The open-source implementation lives under open-strata in the Klavis
repository and is published as the strata-mcp Python package. It can run in
stdio mode for local MCP clients or in HTTP/SSE mode for deployments that need a
network transport.
These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-05. Prefer the live repository,
open-strata README, package metadata, router source files, PyPI metadata, and
Klavis docs for current install commands, router modes, tool names, supported
transports, and hosted-service boundaries.
Features
Discover available actions across configured downstream MCP servers.
Retrieve detailed tool schema and parameter information before execution.
Execute a selected action on a selected downstream server.
Search server documentation by keyword.
Handle authentication failure flows for configured servers.
Add, list, enable, disable, and remove downstream MCP server configurations through the strata CLI.
Run as a stdio MCP server for local clients.
Run as an HTTP/SSE router when a network transport is required.
Watch the configuration file and sync enabled server connections while running.
Installation
Install the open-source router package:
pipx install strata-mcp
Add trusted downstream MCP servers with the Strata CLI. For example, a stdio
server can be registered by name:
For HTTP or SSE downstream servers, use private endpoint placeholders and
secret-managed headers rather than committing real bearer tokens or URLs into
project files.
Use Cases
Keep Claude's visible tool list smaller when a project uses many MCP servers.
Discover which downstream server action is relevant before executing it.
Route several trusted stdio and HTTP MCP servers behind one local MCP entry.
Search tool documentation before calling a risky or unfamiliar action.
Temporarily disable servers that should not be available in a given project.
Experiment with progressive tool discovery for agent workflows.
Safety and Privacy
Strata concentrates access to many downstream tools. That is useful for context
management, but it also means one MCP server entry can route to high-impact
actions across files, browsers, SaaS APIs, databases, developer tools, and other
systems. Audit each downstream server independently and keep the enabled set as
small as the task allows.
The open-source source code stores server configuration in a local JSON file and
supports headers and environment variables for downstream servers. Treat this
configuration as sensitive. The HTTP/SSE router mode should be deployed behind
appropriate network controls because it can expose access to every enabled
server action.

How it compares
Klavis Strata MCP Router side by side with 3 alternatives on trust, install, platform support, and disclosed safety notes — all from reviewed registry metadata.
1 trust signal differ across this comparison (Submitter).
Open-source MCP router from Klavis AI that progressively exposes actions from multiple configured MCP servers instead of flooding Claude with every tool.
Remote Agentage Memory MCP server giving Claude one shared, portable memory across every AI you use - search, read, write, edit, list, and delete plain Markdown notes you own, over Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1.
Apache-2.0 agentic proxy that can expose stdio, HTTP, SSE, and Streamable HTTP MCP servers through a managed gateway with federation, OAuth/JWT authentication, RBAC/CEL policy, CORS, TLS, observability, and Kubernetes Gateway API support.
✓Strata can execute tools on every enabled downstream MCP server; treat it as a privileged router, not a harmless discovery layer.
Review each downstream server before adding it, because Strata can route file, browser, database, SaaS, shell, or write-capable actions through one interface.
The HTTP/SSE mode starts an ASGI server and the source currently binds uvicorn to all interfaces; restrict network exposure with firewall rules, reverse proxies, or local-only deployment.
Store bearer tokens, OAuth credentials, headers, and environment variables in a secret manager or private config file rather than committing Strata configuration.
Disable or remove servers that should not be available to a specific project, user, or model session.
✓The unified server can discover and execute many ACI.dev managed functions, so restrict permissions before connecting it to an autonomous agent.
App-specific servers should be preferred when a workflow only needs a small set of integrations.
Connected apps may read, create, update, delete, or send data depending on the selected functions and linked account permissions.
Require human approval before email, calendar, CRM, ticketing, infrastructure, billing, deployment, or account-administration actions.
✓The memory__write, memory__edit, and memory__delete tools create, modify, and remove your stored notes; review actions before granting broad access.
✓Agentgateway can aggregate and expose many downstream MCP targets through one endpoint; every target's permissions become part of the gateway surface.
Stdio targets are spawned by the gateway process, so commands such as package runners or containers inherit the gateway host's trust boundary.
Demo configs use permissive CORS and local authorization servers; lock down origins, headers, issuers, audiences, JWKS, and resource metadata before production use.
CEL/RBAC policies can inspect MCP tool names, arguments, results, prompts, resources, request bodies, JWT claims, API keys, and backend metadata; test policies before relying on them.
Remote MCP proxying, OAuth provider adaptation, Kubernetes routing, TLS termination, and guardrails are infrastructure changes that should go through normal security review.
Privacy notes
✓Strata stores configured server names, commands, URLs, headers, and environment variables in a local JSON configuration file.
User prompts, action discovery queries, tool schemas, tool arguments, and downstream server responses can all become visible to the MCP client and model provider.
Routed tools may expose third-party account data, files, repositories, browser state, database rows, or workspace context depending on which servers are enabled.
Hosted Klavis APIs and SDKs are separate from the local open-source router; review Klavis account, API-key, and data-handling terms before using hosted instances.
✓Tool names, function arguments, prompts, linked account identifiers, execution results, logs, and connected-service data may pass through ACI.dev, the selected third-party apps, the MCP client, and the model provider.
API keys and linked-account credentials must be protected in client config, environment files, logs, screenshots, and shared prompts.
Review ACI.dev account, tenant, retention, audit-log, and OAuth settings before routing production or customer data through the server.
✓Notes you read or write are stored server-side in your Agentage Memory and mirrored locally as Markdown you can export anytime; note contents pass through model context.
✓MCP requests, tool arguments, tool results, prompt names, resource names, session IDs, JWT/API-key claims, raw request/response bodies, logs, traces, and telemetry may pass through the gateway.
CEL policy and observability features may buffer or inspect request and response bodies depending on configuration.
OAuth/JWT metadata, bearer tokens, API keys, DCR secrets, Keycloak/Auth0/Okta settings, and upstream MCP credentials must be protected as secrets.
Any data returned by downstream MCP tools can still be sent onward by the MCP client to the configured model provider.
