The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol released by Anthropic for AI models to access external tools, data, and systems in a standardized way. It’s based on JSON-RPC 2.0 and uses STDIO or HTTP + SSE transports.

Core concepts

Server

A process that exposes tools (tools), resources (resources), and prompts (prompts).

Client

Claude Desktop, Cursor, custom agents — attach to a Server and call tools.

Tool

A callable function with a name, description, and input schema (JSON Schema).

Transport

Two standard transports: STDIO (local process) or Streamable HTTP (remote).

Standard methods

The MCP methods the Bridger Gateway currently handles are as follows.
Bridger is a tools-focused gateway. resources/* and prompts/* are standard MCP methods but are not handled by the Gateway today; any other method responds with Method not found.

Bridger and MCP

Bridger is an MCP Server hosting platform. Without writing, deploying, or operating your own MCP server, any OpenAPI spec is instantly converted into MCP tools.
  • A single domain (mcp.datari.kr) multiplexes hundreds of tools by name (getultrashortcast, getapttrade…). Official preset servers are distinguished by {category}/{name} IDs, while BYOAPI tools use the @{owner}/{slug} namespace.
  • Use all registered tools with a single API Key — no need to spin up a separate Server.
  • Clients work as-is with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, a ChatGPT Actions adapter, your own SDK).
