As the MCP ecosystem continues to grow, more projects and B2B services are starting to adopt MCP.
When MCP is truly applied in production environments, adapting and integrating existing API services will inevitably become a challenge â often requiring significant engineering and system investments.
Thatâs why I believe there is a real need for an âNginx-likeâ reverse proxy at the MCP layer â a tool that enables individuals and businesses to quickly connect their existing APIs into the MCP ecosystem at low cost, allowing them to validate ideas and markets without heavy upfront refactoring.
Currently, Higress is the major gateway solution supporting MCP, and it demonstrates strong technical advantages in large-scale scenarios. However, in terms of access cost, documentation maturity, and development flexibility, it may pose a higher barrier for some projects â especially when second development is needed, given the complexity of the Istio/Envoy/Wasm stack.
Based on this background, I built and open-sourced MCP Gateway â a lightweight, platform-neutral, and low-overhead MCP gateway that can be quickly deployed on local machines, standalone servers, or Kubernetes. Through simple configuration, you can easily transform existing API services into MCP servers.
The future of this market is still uncertain, but I truly believe building a tool that fills this gap and lowers the adoption barrier is something meaningful.
Youâre warmly welcome to try it out â and Iâd love to hear your feedback and suggestions! â€ïž
@ifuryst Congratulations on the Launch.
@matteo_rider Thanks a lot, Matteo!â€ïž
This is such a brilliant idea effortless API transformation without any code changes is a massive win for agile teams. Does it come with built-in support for rate limiting or caching, or would that need to be managed separately?
@daniel_reed3 Hi Daniel, thanks so much for your kind words!
Regarding rate limiting, itâs not built-in yet, but itâs already on our roadmap.
Weâre rapidly iterating on high-availability features to ensure MCP Gateway is stable and reliable for production use, and rate limiting is part of this plan.
As for caching, could you clarify which kind of caching youâre referring to? Iâd love to hear more, and if it fits, Iâll make sure to include it in our roadmap as well! đ
