# ⚡️ 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.
```bash
uvx mcpo --port 8000 --api-key "top-secret" -- your_mcp_server_command
```
Or, if you’re using Python:
```bash
pip install mcpo
mcpo --port 8000 --api-key "top-secret" -- your_mcp_server_command
```
To use an SSE-compatible MCP server, simply specify the server type and endpoint:
```bash
mcpo --port 8000 --api-key "top-secret" --server-type "sse" -- http://127.0.0.1:8001/sse
```
You can also provide headers for the SSE connection:
```bash
mcpo --port 8000 --api-key "top-secret" --server-type "sse" --header '{"Authorization": "Bearer token", "X-Custom-Header": "value"}' -- http://127.0.0.1:8001/sse
```
To use a Streamable HTTP-compatible MCP server, specify the server type and endpoint:
```bash
mcpo --port 8000 --api-key "top-secret" --server-type "streamable-http" -- http://127.0.0.1:8002/mcp
```
You can also run mcpo via Docker with no installation:
```bash
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/open-webui/mcpo:main --api-key "top-secret" -- your_mcp_server_command
```
Example:
```bash
uvx mcpo --port 8000 --api-key "top-secret" -- uvx mcp-server-time --local-timezone=America/New_York
```
That’s it. Your MCP tool is now available at http://localhost:8000 with a generated OpenAPI schema — test it live at [http://localhost:8000/docs](http://localhost:8000/docs).
🤝 **To integrate with Open WebUI after launching the server, check our [docs](https://docs.openwebui.com/openapi-servers/open-webui/).**
### 🌐 Serving Under a Subpath (`--root-path`)
If you need to serve mcpo behind a reverse proxy or under a subpath (e.g., `/api/mcpo`), use the `--root-path` argument:
```bash
mcpo --port 8000 --root-path "/api/mcpo" --api-key "top-secret" -- your_mcp_server_command
```
All routes will be served under the specified root path, e.g. `http://localhost:8000/api/mcpo/memory`.
### 🔄 Using a Config File
You can serve multiple MCP tools via a single config file that follows the [Claude Desktop](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user) format.
Enable hot-reload mode with `--hot-reload` to automatically watch your config file for changes and reload servers without downtime:
Start via:
```bash
mcpo --config /path/to/config.json
```
Or with hot-reload enabled:
```bash
mcpo --config /path/to/config.json --hot-reload
```
Example config.json:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"memory": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"]
},
"time": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-time", "--local-timezone=America/New_York"],
"disabledTools": ["convert_time"] // Disable specific tools if needed
},
"mcp_sse": {
"type": "sse", // Explicitly define type
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8001/sse",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer token",
"X-Custom-Header": "value"
}
},
"mcp_streamable_http": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8002/mcp"
} // Streamable HTTP MCP Server
}
}
```
Each tool will be accessible under its own unique route, e.g.:
- http://localhost:8000/memory
- http://localhost:8000/time
Each with a dedicated OpenAPI schema and proxy handler. Access full schema UI at: `http://localhost:8000/<tool>/docs` (e.g. /memory/docs, /time/docs)
### 🔐 OAuth 2.1 Authentication
mcpo supports OAuth 2.1 authentication for MCP servers that require it. The implementation defaults to **dynamic client registration**, so most servers only need minimal configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"oauth-protected-server": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp",
"oauth": {
"server_url": "http://localhost:8000"
}
}
}
}
```
#### OAuth Configuration Options
**Basic Options:**
- `server_url` (required): OAuth server base URL
- `storage_type`: "file" (persistent) or "memory" (session-only, default: "file")
- `callback_port`: Local port for OAuth callback (default: 3030)
- `use_loopback`: Auto-open browser for auth (default: true)
**Advanced Options (rarely needed):**
For servers that don't support dynamic client registration, you can specify static client metadata:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"legacy-oauth-server": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "http://api.example.com/mcp",
"oauth": {
"server_url": "http://api.example.com",
"client_metadata": {
"client_name": "My MCPO Client",
"redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:3030/callback"]
}
}
}
}
}
```
> **Note**: Avoid setting `scope`, `authorization_endpoint`, or `token_endpoint` in the config. These are automatically discovered from the server's OAuth metadata during the dynamic registration flow.
On first connection, mcpo will:
1. Perform dynamic client registration (if supported)
2. Open your browser for authorization
3. Capture the OAuth callback automatically
4. Store tokens securely (in `~/.mcpo/tokens/` for file storage)
5. Use tokens for all subsequent requests
OAuth is supported for `streamable-http` server types. See [OAUTH_GUIDE.md](OAUTH_GUIDE.md) for detailed documentation.
## 🔧 Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- uv (optional, but highly recommended for performance + packaging)
## 🛠️ Development & Testing
To contribute or run tests locally:
1. **Set up the environment:**
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/open-webui/mcpo.git
cd mcpo
# Install dependencies (including dev dependencies)
uv sync --dev
```
2. **Run tests:**
```bash
uv run pytest
```
3. **Running Locally with Active Changes:**
To run `mcpo` with your local modifications from a specific branch (e.g., `my-feature-branch`):
```bash
# Ensure you are on your development branch
git checkout my-feature-branch
# Make your code changes in the src/mcpo directory or elsewhere
# Run mcpo using uv, which will use your local, modified code
# This command starts mcpo on port 8000 and proxies your_mcp_server_command
uv run mcpo --port 8000 -- your_mcp_server_command
# Example with a test MCP server (like mcp-server-time):
# uv run mcpo --port 8000 -- uvx mcp-server-time --local-timezone=America/New_York
```
This allows you to test your changes interactively before committing or creating a pull request. Access your locally running `mcpo` instance at `http://localhost:8000` and the auto-generated docs at `http://localhost:8000/docs`.
