What is Supergateway?

Supergateway is a bridging tool that can convert the connection mode of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers between different communication protocols. It is especially useful when your MCP server only supports standard input and output (stdio), providing remote access capabilities through WebSockets or Server-Sent Events.

How to use Supergateway?

Supergateway is easy to use. You only need to run a command via npx. You can choose to expose a local stdio server as an SSE/WS service or convert a remote SSE service into a local stdio interface.

Applicable scenarios

Supergateway is suitable for scenarios where you need to remotely access a local MCP server, debug an MCP service, or connect a server that only supports stdio to a web client.

Main features

Protocol conversion
Flexibly convert communication protocols between stdio, SSE, and WebSockets
Remote access
Expose a local stdio server through SSE or WebSockets to enable remote access
Local integration
Convert a remote SSE service into a local stdio interface for easy integration with command-line tools
Flexible configuration
Supports customizing ports, paths, header information, and CORS settings
Docker support
Provides an official Docker image for easy containerized deployment
Advantages
Easy to use, can be set up with a single command
Supports multiple protocol conversions, flexibly adapting to different scenarios
Compatible with the Supermachine, Superinterface, and Supercorp ecosystems
Provides Docker support for easy deployment
Detailed logging for easy debugging
Limitations
Requires a Node.js environment to run (unless using Docker)
Advanced configuration may require certain technical knowledge
The SSE protocol may be restricted in some network environments

How to use

Installation
Run Supergateway directly via npx without separate installation
Select mode
Decide whether to expose a local stdio server as a network service or convert a remote service into a local stdio
Configure parameters
Configure necessary parameters such as ports and paths according to the selected mode
Run
Execute the command to start the service

Usage examples

Expose a local file system MCP server
Expose the local file system as an MCP server through SSE
Connect to a remote SSE server
Convert a remote SSE MCP server into a local stdio interface
Publish a local server using ngrok
Publish the local MCP server to the Internet in combination with ngrok
