Gateway

About

The Gateway is a modular TypeScript-based solution engineered to facilitate seamless, bi-directional communication between the MCP (Messaging Control Protocol) and standard HTTP. Tailored for contemporary microservices environments, it prioritizes scalability, reliability, and observability, making it an excellent choice for roles such as an API gateway, a robust proxy service, or an efficient event streaming hub. It offers a comprehensive set of features including dynamic routing, load balancing, an extensible middleware system, and built-in resilience mechanisms like retry and circuit breakers.

Key Features

• Core Gateway Engine for bi-directional MCP ↔ HTTP communication
• Dynamic Routing and Load Balancing with multiple strategies (round-robin, least-connections, weighted)
• Extensible Middleware System for custom hooks, logging, authentication, and more
• Resilience features including Retry and Circuit Breaker per backend
• Metrics and Observability support (Prometheus/OpenTelemetry ready) with hot reload capabilities
• 1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Serve as an API gateway in microservices architectures
• Act as a proxy service for internal or external communication
• Function as an event streaming hub for MCP events
