About mcpo

⚡️ mcpo Expose any MCP tool as an OpenAPI-compatible HTTP server—instantly. mcpo is a dead-simple proxy that takes an MCP server command and makes it accessible via standard RESTful OpenAPI, so your tools "just work" with LLM agents and apps expecting OpenAPI servers. No custom protocol. No glue code. No hassle. 🤔 Why Use mcpo Instead of Native MCP? MCP servers usually speak over raw stdio, which is: 🔓 Inherently insecure ❌ Incompatible with most tools 🧩 Missing standard features like docs, auth, error handling, etc. mcpo solves all of that—without extra effort: ✅ Works instantly with OpenAPI tools, SDKs, and UIs 🛡 Adds security, stability, and scalability using trusted web standards 🧠 Auto-generates interactive docs for every tool, no config needed 🔌 Uses pure HTTP—no sockets, no glue code, no surprises What feels like "one more step" is really fewer steps with better outcomes. mcpo makes your AI tools usable, secure, and interoperable—right now, with zero hassle. 🚀 Quick Usage We recommend using uv for lightning-fast startup and zero config. Or, if you’re using Python: To use an SSE-compatible MCP server, simply specify the server type and endpoint: You
