What is RuleGo-Server?

RuleGo-Server is a lightweight, high-performance, modular, and integration-friendly automation workflow platform built on RuleGo. It is designed for automation orchestration, iPaaS, API orchestration, AI orchestration, data processing, IoT rule engines, and AI assistants.

How to use RuleGo-Server?

Compile from source using go build (optionally with build tags for extension components), then run the binary with ./server -c="./config.conf". The server listens on port 9090 by default and provides an HTTP API; a web UI is available by placing the compiled editor directory in the root folder.

Key features of RuleGo-Server

• Bridge third-party services into MCP tools for intelligent agents

FAQ from RuleGo-Server

How does multi-tenancy work in RuleGo-Server?

RuleGo-Server supports multi-tenancy with isolated rule chain data per user, stored in the data/workflows/{username} directory. By default, all operations run as the default user (admin).

How can I enable authentication for the API?

Set require_auth = true in config.conf and configure users with passwords (and optional apiKey). Clients then obtain a JWT token via /api/v1/login or use the apiKey directly in the Authorization header.

Does RuleGo-Server support the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Yes. When the MCP feature is enabled, the server automatically registers all components, rule chains, and APIs as MCP tools, allowing AI assistants (e.g., Windsurf, Cursor) to invoke them.

What runtime dependencies are required?

No database or external runtime is needed. RuleGo-Server is compiled as a Go binary. Extension components (AI, CI/CD, IoT, ETL) can be included via build tags at compile time.

How do I start RuleGo-Server?

Run the compiled binary with the configuration file: ./server -c="./config.conf". For background operation, use nohup ./server -c="./config.conf" >> console.log &.
