It's similar to a DJ, but I don't mean night clubs or music only. What is the general word for a person who directs the crowd during a party, and announces things?
Toast master is one word.
Show runner?
Anchor man?
Party announcer?
MC – master of ceremony? But this is only for breakdance, rap battles etc.
I'd like to know other synonyms.

Master of ceremonies (MC) is actually a good fit here.
It's true that MC is a term used in hip-hop, but that's simply borrowed from the more general term.
MW notes that the term is from the 1600s... predates hip-hop quite a bit
