Get running fast
Initialize MCP Bridge, install your first server, and connect it to your MCP client.
MCP Bridge is the core runtime for connecting many MCP servers through a single interface. This documentation covers three connected projects:
Get running fast
Initialize MCP Bridge, install your first server, and connect it to your MCP client.
Configure your stack
Learn server definitions, auth models, modes, and environment variable handling.
Use Smart Router
Route by intent, compress schemas, cache results, and resolve tool collisions.
Integrate OpenClaw
Install the plugin and map universal recipes to OpenClaw-native configuration.
MCP client calls the bridge (mcp meta-tool in router mode, or direct tool names in direct mode).
The bridge dispatches to configured upstream servers over stdio, sse, or streamable-http.
The catalog indexes recipes and exposes discovery tools like catalog.search, catalog.info, and
catalog.download. Bridge installers consume those recipes.
The plugin translates recipe data into OpenClaw plugin config, registers tools via OpenClaw APIs,
and delegates all MCP protocol details to @aiwerk/mcp-bridge.
