# MCPJungle in Best MCP Gateways

**Answer in brief:** Best for a light self-hosted gateway for one developer or a small team.


## Resource role

Light self-hosted gateway. MCPJungle is a self-hosted MCP gateway. You register your servers once, and Claude, Cursor, Codex or your own agents connect to one endpoint.[1] Tool groups let each client see only the tools it should.[1]

It gives Claude, Cursor, Copilot and custom agents one MCP endpoint, one place to register servers, unified discovery of tools, prompts and resources, and optional tool groups.[1]

## Relationship to Conecto

MCPJungle is a separate resource. Conecto doesn't make it and has no partnership with MCPJungle project. Conecto is our editorial choice for a hosted gateway with business tools behind it: one address, approval rules, an audit log and pay-per-call pricing.

## The facts

- License: MPL-2.0[2]
- GitHub stars: 1,614 on November 8, 2026[2]
- Runs: Locally or as shared team infrastructure[1]
- Controls: Tool groups, access control and observability hooks[1]

## What to inspect

It is a young project. Read its release notes before it carries production traffic.

Start it locally, register your servers once, then point each client at the MCPJungle endpoint.[1]

## Who it fits

Pick it when you want a tidy personal setup or a small shared gateway without a Kubernetes cluster.

## Questions & answers

### How does Conecto relate to MCP gateways?

Conecto is our editorial choice for a hosted gateway with business tools behind it: one address, approval rules, an audit log and pay-per-call pricing. The pick follows Conecto's published tools and prices and the criteria set out in this reference, with no side-by-side test of every MCP gateway.

### What is the first practical step?

Count the servers and agents you run. If you host your own servers, compare self-hosted gateways first. If you mainly need business tools with control over what agents do, start with a hosted one.
