Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check MCP Gateway every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-gateway -- uvx mcp-orchestration-gateway
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-gateway": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-orchestration-gateway"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

command = "uvx"
args = ["mcp-orchestration-gateway"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-gateway": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-orchestration-gateway"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: STORAGE_BACKEND (Storage backend for tool cache. Use 'memory' for development or 'redis' for production.), REDIS_URL (Redis connection URL. Required only when STORAGE_BACKEND=redis.), SERVER_CONFIG_PATH (Path to the server_config.json file listing downstream MCP servers.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Gateway — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Gateway?
MCP Gateway runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcp-orchestration-gateway was installed 66 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Gateway?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-orchestration-gateway straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Gateway?
The pypi package mcp-orchestration-gateway was installed 66 times in the last week. Week over week that is +5%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Gateway open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 6 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
