It enables individuals and organizations to convert their existing MCP Servers and APIs into services compliant with the [MCP Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) — all through configuration, with **zero code changes**. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69480eda-7aa7-4be7-9bc7-cae57fe16c54 ### 🔧 Core Design Principles - ✅ Zero Intrusion: Platform-agnostic, supports deployment on bare metal, VMs, ECS, Kubernetes, etc., without modifying existing infrastructure - 🔄 Configuration-Driven: Convert legacy APIs to MCP Servers using YAML configuration — no code required - 🪶 Lightweight & Efficient: Designed for minimal resource usage without compromising on performance or availability - 🧭 Built-in Management UI: Ready-to-use web interface to simplify setup and reduce operational overhead --- ## 🚀 Getting Started Unla supports a ready-to-run Docker deployment. Full deployment and configuration instructions are available in the [docs](https://docs.unla.amoylab.com/getting-started/quick-start). ### Quick Launch with Docker Configure environment variables: ```bash export APISERVER_JWT_SECRET_KEY="changeme-please-generate-a-random-secret" export SUPER_ADMIN_USERNAME="admin" export SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD="changeme-please-use-a-secure-password" ``` Launch the container: ```bash docker run -d \ --name unla \ -p 8080:80 \ -p 5234:5234 \ -p 5235:5235 \ -p 5335:5335 \ -p 5236:5236 \ -e ENV=production \ -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \ -e APISERVER_JWT_SECRET_KEY=${APISERVER_JWT_SECRET_KEY} \ -e SUPER_ADMIN_USERNAME=${SUPER_ADMIN_USERNAME} \ -e SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD=${SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD} \ --restart unless-stopped \ ghcr.io/amoylab/unla/allinone:latest ``` ### Access and Configuration 1. Access the Web Interface: - Open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser - Login with the administrator credentials you configured 2. Add an MCP Server: - Copy the config from: https://github.com/amoylab/unla/blob/main/configs/proxy-mock-server.yaml - Click "Add MCP Server" in the web interface - Paste the configuration and save ### Available Endpoints After configuration, the service will be available at these endpoints: - MCP SSE: http://localhost:5235/mcp/user/sse - MCP SSE Message: http://localhost:5235/mcp/user/message - MCP Streamable HTTP: http://localhost:5235/mcp/user/mcp Configure your MCP Client with the `/sse` or `/mcp` suffix URLs to start using it. ### Testing You can test the service using: 1. The MCP Chat page in the web interface 2. Your own MCP Client (**recommended**) 📖 Read the full guide → [Quick Start »](https://docs.unla.amoylab.com/getting-started/quick-start) --- ## 🚀 Core Features ### 🔌 Protocol & Proxy Capabilities - [x] Support for converting RESTful APIs to MCP Server — Client → MCP Gateway → APIs - [x] Support proxying MCP services — Client → MCP Gateway → MCP Servers - [ ] Support for converting gRPC to MCP Server — Client → MCP Gateway → gRPC - [ ] Support for converting WebSocket to MCP Server — Client → MCP Gateway → WebSocket - [x] Support for MCP SSE - [x] Support for MCP Streamable HTTP - [x] Support for MCP responses including text, images, and audio ### 🧠 Session & Multi-Tenant Support - [x] Persistent and recoverable session support - [x] Multi-tenant support - [ ] Support for grouping and aggregating MCP servers ### 🛠 Configuration & Management - [x] Automatic configuration fetching and seamless hot-reloading - [x] Configuration persistence (Disk/SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL) - [x] Configuration sync via OS Signals, HTTP, or Redis PubSub - [x] Version control for configuration ### 🔐 Security & Authentication - [x] OAuth-based pre-authentication support for MCP Servers ### 🖥 User Interface - [x] Intuitive and lightweight management UI ### 📦 Deployment & Operations - [x] Multi-replica service support - [x] Docker support - [x] Kubernetes and Helm deployment support --- ## 📚 Documentation For more usage patterns, configuration examples, and integration guides, please visit: 👉 **https://docs.unla.amoylab.com** --- ## 📄 License This project is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE). ## 💬 Join Our WeChat Community Scan the QR code below to add us on WeChat.
