MCP Clients¶
MCP Gateway is compatible with any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This section documents tested clients, their configuration, and any integration tips.
🔌 Client Types¶
There are two ways clients typically connect:
- Direct to Gateway (HTTP/SSE/WS)
- Via
mcpgateway-wrapper(stdio transport, especially for LLM apps)
✅ Compatible Clients¶
| Client | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | UI | Configure to launch mcpgateway.wrapper via JSON |
| Cline | CLI | Supports stdio or direct MCP over HTTP |
| Continue | VSCode plugin | MCP plugin support |
| MCP Inspector | Web debugger | Great for manual testing and exploring protocol features |
Each of these tools can consume the MCP protocol and dynamically detect tools from the Gateway.
