No SDK needed.
DataFaucet generates hosted MCP servers from any web app. Zero code, zero config files.
Toolhouse is a developer platform. You write Python or JavaScript code to define tools, configure authentication, and wire them into your AI application via their SDK. The tools run in their hosted environment with observability and execution traces.
DataFaucet is a no-code tool. You browse a website or paste a cURL command, and it generates a standard MCP server from the captured traffic. No SDK, no code, no configuration files. The output is a standard MCP endpoint that works with any compatible client.
If your team has developers building custom AI pipelines, Toolhouse gives them fine-grained control. If you need MCP servers fast, from any API, without writing code, DataFaucet gets you there in 60 seconds.
Watch DataFaucet capture endpoints and deploy a working server. Takes 60 seconds.
Free tier. 3 servers. No credit card required.
