What is Mcpjungle Mcp Gateway?

Mcpjungle Mcp Gateway (MCPJungle) is a self-hosted gateway that lets developers and teams run all their MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers behind a single endpoint. It consolidates scattered client configurations, reduces duplicated setup, and provides centralized access control and observability.

How to use Mcpjungle Mcp Gateway?

Start the gateway with Docker Compose (docker compose up -d) or run the binary directly (mcpjungle start). Use the CLI (mcpjungle register --name ... --url ...) to add MCP servers. Connect AI clients like Claude, Cursor, or Copilot by pointing them to the unified MCP endpoint at http://localhost:8080/mcp.

FAQ from Mcpjungle Mcp Gateway

What is the difference between MCPJungle and a typical MCP server?

MCPJungle is a gateway that aggregates multiple MCP servers behind a single endpoint, offering centralized management, access control, and tool grouping—not just a single MCP server.

What dependencies or runtime does Mcpjungle Mcp Gateway require?

It runs as a standalone binary or Docker image. For development, it uses a SQLite database (default) or optional PostgreSQL. Docker images are available with or without stdio‑tool dependencies.

Where does my data live?

All registered server data and gateway state are stored in a configurable database (SQLite file or PostgreSQL). Deleting the database removes all configuration.

What transports does Mcpjungle Mcp Gateway support?

It supports Streamable HTTP (primary), stdio, and SSE (SSE support is not yet mature).

How does authentication work?

Authentication is an enterprise feature. In development mode, the gateway runs without authentication; production/enterprise mode enables access control and other enterprise features.
