 A flexible feature-rich FastAPI-based gateway for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that unifies and federates tools, resources, prompts, servers and peer gateways, wraps any REST API as MCP-compliant tools or virtual servers, and exposes everything over HTTP/JSON-RPC, WebSocket, Server-Sent Events (SSE) and stdio transports—all manageable via a rich, interactive Admin UI and packaged as a container with support for any SQLAlchemy supported database.

 ## Overview & Goals
@@ -17,51 +17,7 @@ MCP Gateway builds on the MCP spec by sitting **in front of** MCP Server or REST
 * **Adapt** arbitrary REST/HTTP APIs into MCP tools with JSON-Schema input validation, retry/rate-limit policies and transparent JSON-RPC invocation
 * **Simplify** deployments with a full admin UI, rich transports, pre-built DX pipelines and production-grade observability
