Installation

PyPI

mcpgate is available on PyPI:

# With uv
uv add mcpgate
# With pip
pip install mcpgate
# With Poetry
poetry add mcpgate

GitHub

You can also install the latest version of the code directly from GitHub:

# With uv
uv add git+https://github.com/MicaelJarniac/mcpgate
# With pip
pip install git+git://github.com/MicaelJarniac/mcpgate
# With Poetry
poetry add git+git://github.com/MicaelJarniac/mcpgate

Quick Start

# With uv
uvx mcpgate
# With pipx
pipx run mcpgate

Usage

For more examples, see the full documentation.

from mcpgate import mcp

mcp.run(transport="http")

Headers

mcpgate is configured per-request via HTTP headers sent by the MCP client:

Header	Required	Description
x-openapi-url	Yes	URL of the OpenAPI JSON specification to load
x-api-url	Yes	Base URL of the target API for proxied requests
x-cookies	No	Cookie string to forward with API requests

When both x-openapi-url and x-api-url are present, mcpgate fetches the OpenAPI spec, generates MCP tools from it, and proxies tool calls to the target API. When these headers are absent, the server returns no tools.
