MetaMCP Overview
The MetaMCP MCP server provides an on-demand gateway for configured child MCP servers through three stable tools. It searches live or cached schemas, invokes one explicitly named child tool, or runs a reviewed declarative Method with bounded execution and schema validation. Use it for irregular or long-tail MCP capabilities while keeping high-frequency, security-sensitive, or foundational servers connected directly. It runs over stdio or Streamable HTTP and requires Node.js 20 or newer.
Primary Use Cases for MetaMCP:
- Discover long-tail MCP capabilities without starting every child server
- Call one named tool on an irregular child server
- Run reviewed multi-step acquisition and normalization workflows
- Keep high-frequency or security-sensitive MCP servers connected directly
