What is MCP Gateway?
MCP Gateway (Unla) is a lightweight, highly available gateway service written in Go that allows individuals and organizations to convert existing MCP Servers and APIs into MCP Protocol–compliant endpoints through configuration only, with zero code changes. It is platform-agnostic and supports bare metal, VMs, ECS, and Kubernetes deployments.
How to use MCP Gateway?
Deploy with Docker using environment variables (secret key, admin credentials), then access the built-in web UI at port 8080 to add MCP Server configurations via YAML. After setup, use the exposed SSE or Streamable HTTP endpoints (port 5235) to connect your MCP client.
