open-webui/mcpo
mcpo is a secure and simple proxy server designed to expose Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools as OpenAPI-compatible HTTP servers. This enables seamless integration of MCP tools with large language model (LLM) agents and applications that expect OpenAPI servers. Unlike native MCP servers that communicate over raw stdio, which is inherently insecure, incompatible with many tools, and lacks standard features like documentation, authentication, and error handling, mcpo addresses these issues by providing a secure, stable, and scalable solution using trusted web standards. mcpo works instantly with OpenAPI tools, SDKs, and user interfaces, auto-generating interactive documentation for every tool without requiring any configuration. It uses pure HTTP, eliminating the need for sockets or glue code, making the integration process straightforward and hassle-free. The project supports various MCP server types, including standard command-based servers, SSE-compatible servers, and streamable HTTP-compatible servers, allowing flexible deployment options. Users can run mcpo with simple commands, specifying ports, API keys for security, and server types as needed. It also supports running multiple MCP tools via a single configuration file, with each tool accessible under its unique route and accompanied by its dedicated OpenAPI schema and proxy handler. This makes mcpo a versatile and powerful tool for making AI tools usable, secure, and interoperable. The project is developed in Python and recommends using the 'uv' tool for fast startup and zero configuration. It is open-source under the MIT license and encourages community contributions. mcpo provides a modern approach to bridging MCP tools with the broader ecosystem of OpenAPI-compatible applications, enhancing usability and security while simplifying deployment and integration.
