RunMCP: Gateway, API-first, OpenAPI, and MCP
RunMCP is the gateway and orchestrator for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) stack. It enables API-first deployments, dynamic routing, and seamless integration of OpenAPI-powered services, making it easy to scale, secure, and extend your MCP-based architecture.
What is RunMCP?
RunMCP is a lightweight, extensible gateway designed to:
- Route API requests to the correct MCP or HAPI server instance
- Manage gateway configuration and dynamic subdomain routing
- Support multi-tenancy and plugin-based extensibility
- Integrate tightly with OpenAPI for contract-driven deployments
tip
RunMCP enables zero-config onboarding for new services—just register your OpenAPI spec and go live!
Core Features
- API-first gateway: All routing and orchestration is driven by OpenAPI specs
- Dynamic configuration: Easily add, remove, or update services via config or API
- Scalable: Supports horizontal scaling and high-availability
- Plugin system: Extend with custom plugins for auth, logging, monitoring, and more
Example: Registering a New Service
// Pseudocode for registering a new MCP service
gateway.registerService({
name: 'chatmcp',
openapi: require('./chatmcp-openapi.json'),
url: 'https://chatmcp.run.mcp.com.ai'
});
caution
Always validate your OpenAPI specs before registering new services. Invalid schemas can break routing and orchestration.
