Using the ToolHive CLI

Introduction​

The ToolHive CLI (thv) is a command-line tool that allows you to deploy and manage MCP servers on your local machine or in development environments. It provides quick deployment of MCP servers and supports advanced features like custom permissions, network access filtering, and telemetry.

It's designed for developers who prefer working in a terminal or need to integrate MCP server management into scripts or automation workflows.

Using ToolHive UI?

ToolHive UI includes and manages the CLI automatically. You don't need to install the CLI separately. See CLI conflict resolution if you have both installed.
