What Metorial does
Connects AI systems and MCP clients to user-authorized tools, with portals, access control, and reviewable traces, sessions, tool calls, auth events, and failures.
Why teams reach for it: You reach for Metorial when the hard part is not running an MCP server but controlling who may call it: it hosts the servers and handles the authentication and identity for each integration, puts every approved tool behind a single Magic MCP URL that people open with the company login, and - because the core is open source - can be self-hosted instead of taken as managed cloud.

Where will the MCP server run?
Hosting & deployment tools are where an MCP server actually runs once it's built, usually a cloud platform.
