Multi-Service Gateway

Provides a unified gateway for LLMs to access GitHub, GitLab, Google Maps, Memory storage, and Puppeteer web automation...

Created byApr 23, 2025
** NOTE: This project is no longer being maintained, as issues with model memory for smaller models means my preferred method for MCP servers is as individual containerized server providers rather than a monolithic routing provider. Code is being kept up in case others still want to try to go down this route.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

A modular server that implements the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) standard, providing tools for GitHub, GitLab, Google Maps, Memory storage, and Puppeteer web automation.

Architecture

The MCP server is built with a modular architecture, where each tool is implemented as a separate module. The server provides a unified gateway that routes requests to the appropriate tool.
![MCP Server Architecture](./architecture.png)

Features

  • **MCP Gateway**: A unified endpoint for all tool requests following the MCP standard
  • **MCP Manifest**: An endpoint that describes all available tools and their capabilities
  • **Direct Tool Access**: Each tool can be accessed directly via its own API endpoints
  • **Modular Design**: Easy to add or remove tools as needed

Included Tools

  1. **GitHub Tool**: Interact with GitHub repositories, issues, and search
  1. **GitLab Tool**: Interact with GitLab projects, issues, and pipelines
  1. **Google Maps Tool**: Geocoding, directions, and places search
  1. **Memory Tool**: Store and retrieve data persistently
  1. **Puppeteer Tool**: Take screenshots, generate PDFs, and extract content from websites

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8 or higher
  • Node.js 14 or higher
  • A Red Hat-based Linux distribution (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora) or any Linux/macOS system

Installation

  1. Clone this repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-server.git cd mcp-server ```
  1. Install Python dependencies: ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ```
  1. Install Node.js dependencies: ```bash npm install ```
  1. Create a `.env` file with your configuration: ``` SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key DEBUG=False # GitHub configuration GITHUB_TOKEN=your-github-token # GitLab configuration GITLAB_TOKEN=your-gitlab-token # Google Maps configuration GMAPS_API_KEY=your-google-maps-api-key # Memory configuration MEMORY_DB_URI=sqlite:///memory.db # Puppeteer configuration PUPPETEER_HEADLESS=true CHROME_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser ```
  1. Start the server: ```bash python app.py ```

Containerized Deployment

You can run the server using either Docker or Podman (Red Hat's container engine).

Docker Deployment

If you already have Docker and docker-compose installed:
  1. Build the Docker image: ```bash docker build -t mcp-server . ```
  1. Run the container: ```bash docker run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env mcp-server ```
  1. Alternatively, use docker-compose: Create a `docker-compose.yml` file: ```yaml version: '3' services: mcp-server: build: . ports: - "5000:5000" volumes: - ./data:/app/data env_file: - .env restart: unless-stopped ``` Then run: ```bash docker-compose up -d ```

Podman Deployment

For Red Hat based systems (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora) using Podman:
  1. Build the container image: ```bash podman build -t mcp-server . ```
  1. Run the container: ```bash podman run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env mcp-server ```
  1. If you need persistent storage: ```bash mkdir -p ./data podman run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env -v ./data:/app/data:Z mcp-server ``` Note: The `:Z` suffix is important for SELinux-enabled systems.
  1. Using Podman Compose (if installed): ```bash # Install podman-compose if needed pip install podman-compose # Use the same docker-compose.yml file as above podman-compose up -d ```

Using the MCP Server

MCP Gateway

The MCP Gateway is the main endpoint for accessing all tools using the MCP standard.
**Endpoint**: `POST /mcp/gateway`
**Request format**:
**Response format**:

MCP Manifest

The MCP Manifest describes all available tools and their capabilities.
**Endpoint**: `GET /mcp/manifest`
**Response format**:

Direct Tool Access

Each tool can also be accessed directly via its own API endpoints:
  • GitHub: `/tool/github/...`
  • GitLab: `/tool/gitlab/...`
  • Google Maps: `/tool/gmaps/...`
  • Memory: `/tool/memory/...`
  • Puppeteer: `/tool/puppeteer/...`
See the API documentation for each tool for details on the available endpoints.

Tool Documentation

GitHub Tool

The GitHub tool provides access to the GitHub API for repositories, issues, and search.
**Actions**:
  • `listRepos`: List repositories for a user or organization
  • `getRepo`: Get details for a specific repository
  • `searchRepos`: Search for repositories
  • `getIssues`: Get issues for a repository
  • `createIssue`: Create a new issue in a repository

GitLab Tool

The GitLab tool provides access to the GitLab API for projects, issues, and pipelines.
**Actions**:
  • `listProjects`: List all projects accessible by the authenticated user
  • `getProject`: Get details for a specific project
  • `searchProjects`: Search for projects on GitLab
  • `getIssues`: Get issues for a project
  • `createIssue`: Create a new issue in a project
  • `getPipelines`: Get pipelines for a project

Google Maps Tool

The Google Maps tool provides access to the Google Maps API for geocoding, directions, and places search.
**Actions**:
  • `geocode`: Convert an address to geographic coordinates
  • `reverseGeocode`: Convert geographic coordinates to an address
  • `getDirections`: Get directions between two locations
  • `searchPlaces`: Search for places using the Google Places API
  • `getPlaceDetails`: Get details for a specific place

Memory Tool

The Memory tool provides a persistent key-value store for storing and retrieving data.
**Actions**:
  • `get`: Get a memory item by key
  • `set`: Create or update a memory item
  • `delete`: Delete a memory item by key
  • `list`: List all memory items, with optional filtering
  • `search`: Search memory items by value

Puppeteer Tool

The Puppeteer tool provides web automation capabilities for taking screenshots, generating PDFs, and extracting content from websites.
**Actions**:
  • `screenshot`: Take a screenshot of a webpage
  • `pdf`: Generate a PDF of a webpage
  • `extract`: Extract content from a webpage

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Here's how you can extend the MCP server:

Adding a New Tool

  1. Create a new file in the `tools` directory, e.g., `tools/newtool_tool.py`
  1. Implement the tool with actions following the same pattern as existing tools
  1. Add the tool to the manifest in `app.py`
  1. Register the tool's blueprint in `tools/__init__.py`
