    !!! quote "Manav Gupta - Vice President & CTO, IBM Canada @ IBM | June 24, 2025"
        "I have been lucky to collaborate and contribute to mcp-context-forge. It serves as a central management point for tools, resources, and prompts that can be accessed by MCP-compatible LLM applications. Converts REST API endpoints to MCP, composes virtual MCP servers with added security and observability, and converts between protocols (stdio, SSE, Streamable HTTP). I think this will be way to build AI Agents of the future."
