The shape-shifting MCP hub — shapeshift into 130,000+ MCP servers at runtime. One entry point, no restarts, 7 registries. Exposed over MCP by the kitsune mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
🦊 Kitsune MCP The agent harness for MCP.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Try-before-you-trust — confirm=True + Docker cage on by default + TOFU pinsClient — Config fileSource — TransportPyPI — uvx (local; optional Docker sandbox)GitHub — npx github:user/repo or uvx --from git+…WebSocket — ws:// / wss://Registry — AuthTier — SourcesHigh — officialMedium — mcpregistry, glama, smitheryCommunity — npm, pypi, github, local connectTransport — Cold startBeing a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
You will need 3 environment variables: KITSUNE_TOOLS, SMITHERY_API_KEY, BRAVE_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Kitsune MCP's toolset — Try-before-you-trust, Client, Source and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by kaiser-data; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
