🚀 Quick Start

Installation

Using Homebrew (macOS)

brew install gatemcp/tap/gatemcp

Using Docker

docker run -p 8080:8080 gatemcp/gatemcp:latest

Download Binary

# Download latest release
curl -L https://github.com/gatemcp/gatemcp/releases/latest/download/gatemcp-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv gatemcp /usr/local/bin/

Basic Setup

1. Generate Configuration

gatemcp create config --output gatemcp.yaml

2. Start the Server

   gatemcp start --config gatemcp.yaml 

3. Register Your First MCP Server
