Ramen MCP server

Run your team's own Python MCP tools on your cloud, with sign-in, guardrails and an audit log.

Developer tools For it and development Aggregators

Ramen is a self-hosted platform for running your own MCP tools. You keep your tools in a git repo, and Ramen turns that repo into workers running on Google Cloud, AWS, Azure or your own laptop. It is handy for teams that want their AI helpers to use company tools, but want control over who can call what.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. Ramen is that helper, but for tools your own team writes in Python. Once it is connected, your AI can call those tools for you when you ask, and Ramen keeps track of who called what.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something that needs a company tool, like a calculator or an internal lookup. Your AI sends the request to Ramen over a web address. Ramen checks who you are, checks the rules for that tool, and then runs the Python code your team wrote. The answer comes back into your chat, and Ramen writes a line in its log for every call.

What you can do with it

Run your team's own Python tools from a git repo
Sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or a Ramen password
Give different groups different roles and per-tool access
Roll out a new version as a canary first, then to everyone
Add guardrail checks before a tool runs and after it answers
Scale workers up and down automatically based on load
Keep an audit log of every MCP call

Try asking your AI

“Use the demo calculator tool to add 2 and 3”
“List the tools available in my group”
“Run the internal lookup tool for customer 1042”
“Show me the last few calls made to this tool”

What it gives back to you

You get the tool's answer back in your chat, as text, a number or a small structured result. If the tool is blocked by a guardrail, you get a readable error message instead. Ramen also keeps a log line for each call, which admins can download from the console.

Before you start

What you need

A git repo with your Python tools (or the demo repo to try it)
Docker with compose v2, uv, git and make for the local quickstart
A cloud account (GCP, AWS or Azure) if you want to run it in the cloud
An identity provider like Entra ID or Google Workspace if you want people to sign in

Good to know

Ramen runs code from your git repo and can change things in your cloud, so only point it at repos and secrets you trust.

Install it with your AI

Add Ramen MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed

You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.

Sign in to get the install prompt

Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check Ramen MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,609 MCP servers here for you.
