Fullstack MCP framework and cloud for MCP apps and servers.
Manufact is the company behind mcp-use, an open-source (MIT) TypeScript framework for building, testing and shipping MCP servers, MCP Apps for ChatGPT and Claude connectors. The framework offers Zod-typed tools, React 'Views' bound to tools, a built-in Inspector and an agent-first, headless CLI for scaffolding, invoking and deploying servers. Manufact's site positions it as 'the cloud for production MCP', helping teams get onto ChatGPT and Claude plugin stores, see how agents use their servers and test releases across clients and harnesses.
