Manifold Overview

The Manifold MCP server aggregates external MCP servers, OpenAPI/Swagger REST APIs, and A2A agents behind one MCP endpoint. It converts OpenAPI 3.x and Swagger 2.x specifications into MCP tools, proxies MCP backends, and can filter or rename exposed tools. Use it when an agent needs a single gateway for several protocol backends, especially when tool catalogs, authentication, caching, audit logs, or persistent sessions need centralized configuration. It runs as a binary, Docker image, or Go-built application and supports stdio and HTTP backend connection modes.

Primary Use Cases for Manifold:
  • Aggregate several MCP servers behind one endpoint
  • Generate MCP tools from OpenAPI or Swagger specifications
  • Restrict and rename tools exposed to an agent
  • Expose A2A agent skills as MCP tools
