Overview

What is MCP Gateway?

An MCP gateway that aggregates multiple MCP resource servers through a single interface. It provides a unified proxy endpoint and batch request tool, and integrates with Claude desktop configuration for easy setup.

How to use MCP Gateway?

Configure the gateway by setting the MCP_CONFIG_PATH environment variable, adding a proxyBatchMcpServers section to your Claude desktop config, or placing a config.json in the current directory. Run it using npx -y @thinkware/mcp-gateway. The gateway automatically merges configurations from these sources.

FAQ from MCP Gateway

What dependencies does MCP Gateway require?

Node.js and npm are required to run the gateway via npx.

How does MCP Gateway discover its configuration?

It checks the MCP_CONFIG_PATH environment variable first, then the Claude desktop config file for your operating system, and finally a local config.json in the current directory.

Can I override tool descriptions and enable/disable tools?

Yes. The toolOverrides option per server allows you to enable or disable individual tools and set custom descriptions.

What transport protocols are supported for backend servers?

Servers can be configured using a command (stdio transport) or a url (SSE endpoint). The command field is required for command servers; url is required for SSE servers.
