This solves a fundamental compatibility gap: MCP servers are inherently insecure and incompatible with tools expecting REST APIs, but mcpo bridges that gap by wrapping any MCP server command and exposing its tools via FastAPI with auto-generated interactive documentation, authentication, and standard HTTP semantics.\n\nYou run mcpo with an MCP server command (or point it to an SSE or HTTP-based MCP endpoint), and it immediately serves an OpenAPI schema at `/docs` and proxy routes for each tool. It supports single servers via command-line flags, multiple servers via a Claude Desktop\u2013compatible config file with hot-reload, and OAuth 2.1 for protected endpoints. The proxy adds security (API keys, auth), stability (HTTP error handling), and interoperability (any OpenAPI client can now call your MCP tools) without requiring custom glue code.","worth_installing":"Yes. mcpo solves a real interoperability problem (MCP servers are stdio-only, most tools expect OpenAPI) with low install friction, active maintenance, and no known vulnerabilities. The license treatment is unclear, so verify the actual license before use. For any workflow where you need to expose MCP tools to REST clients or LLM agents, this is the right tool."},"id":"mcpo","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mcpo","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mcpo.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mcpo/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"mcpo","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A simple, secure MCP-to-OpenAPI proxy server"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":289951,"position":7995,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.20"}
