4. Create a server config.. see config.sample.json
{
"UI": {
"Listen": ":8080",
"TLS": true,
"Root": "example/ui"
},
"_comment": "You don't need SpeechToText or TextToSpeech, current code only suports whisper-server and melotts",
"SpeechToText": {
"Provider": "whisper",
"Host": "http://10.0.0.10:8802",
"Model": ""
},
"TextToSpeech": {
"Provider": "melotts",
"Host": "http://10.0.0.10:7777",
"Model": ""
},
"Inference": {
"Provider": "ollama",
"Host": "http://localhost:11434",
"Token": "",
"Model": "mistral-small3.1",
"SystemPrompt": ""
},
"Servers": {
"mcpServers": {
"reminders": {
"command": "./reminders",
"args": [
]
}
}
}
}5. Build and run
make all
./mcpgateway --config ./config.sample.jsonWriting your own application
mcpGW provides a set of apis (see server/server.go) and will run any application pointed to by the config UI section:
We included a basic sample UI:
"UI": {
"Listen": ":8080",
"TLS": true,
"Root": "example/ui"
},Writing your own mcp server
mcpGW will run any mcpserver, but we also included a simple one in ```examples/mcpservers/reminders```
You can then add the server to the mcpServers section of the config
"Servers": {
"mcpServers": {
"reminders": {
"command": "./reminders",
"args": [
]
}
}
