Executor

MCP gateway and integration catalog for AI agents

open sourcetelemetry concernsupdated Jun 30, 2026

Executor is an MIT-licensed integration layer and MCP gateway for AI agents. It gives Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-speaking clients one endpoint for connected OpenAPI specs, GraphQL APIs, MCP servers, Google Discovery sources, and custom JavaScript tools, with local, cloud, and self-hosted deployment options for teams centralizing tool access.

Executor sits in the integration layer between AI agents and the tools they need to call. The official site describes it as an MCP gateway: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any other MCP-speaking client points at one endpoint, while Executor connects the agent to MCP servers, OpenAPI specifications, GraphQL APIs, Google Discovery sources, and custom JavaScript functions. That framing makes it more specific than a general workflow builder and broader than a single MCP server; it is a catalog and routing surface for teams that are accumulating many agent integrations.

The write-time GitHub check for `RhysSullivan/executor` showed 2,269 stars, 140 forks, an MIT license, and a push on 2026-06-24. The README documents `npm install -g executor`, `executor install`, and `executor web`, then explains local background service setup and MCP server usage. The npm package was at version 1.5.19 and exposes an `executor` binary. The product site also describes local desktop and CLI options, Executor Cloud with a free tier, and self-hosting through Docker or a Cloudflare Worker, so the page frames pricing as open-source local software with optional hosted deployment.

Executor's appeal is operational simplicity: instead of configuring the same GitHub, Stripe, Sentry, Cloudflare, or internal API tools separately for every agent, the team can centralize the integration catalog and expose it through MCP. The risk is also obvious: an integration gateway may hold credentials, schemas, and function access that deserve security review. This page should therefore describe Executor as a promising MCP integration layer, not as a proven enterprise security boundary, and teams should validate auth, logging, and deployment mode before placing high-privilege tools behind it.

Pricing

Free MIT-licensed local CLI and service; Executor Cloud advertises a free tier, and teams can also self-host via Docker or Cloudflare Worker depending on their deployment needs.

Platforms

CLI, local service, web UI, cloud, and self-host options for exposing OpenAPI, GraphQL, MCP, Google Discovery, and custom JS integrations to agents.
