Introduction

What MCPForDevs is and how it works

MCPForDevs is a multi-tenant platform that lets you expose your existing HTTP APIs as Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers — without modifying your infrastructure.

You define tools that map to your API endpoints, issue API keys to control access, and connect AI agents to your data and actions in minutes.

Key concepts

Organization
Your workspace. Holds all servers, tools, and keys.
MCP server
A named endpoint that groups related tools under a single access point.
Tool
A mapping from an MCP tool call to an HTTP request on your API.
API key
A credential scoped to a server. Required to authenticate requests.

Getting started

Go from zero to a working MCP server in under 5 minutes

1

Create an account

Go to platform.mcpfordevs.com and sign in with your email. We'll send you a one-time code — no password required. A default organization is created automatically on first login.

2

Create an MCP server

From the dashboard, click New server. Give it a name and an optional description. Each server gets its own isolated set of tools and API keys.

3

Add a tool

Inside your server, go to the Tools tab and click Add tool. Map an MCP tool name to an HTTP endpoint on your API — define the method, path, and any parameters the agent can pass.

4

Issue an API key

Go to the API Keys tab and create a key. Copy the raw value — it is shown only once and never stored in plain text. Use this key to authenticate requests to your MCP server.

5

Connect your AI agent

Point your MCP client at your server endpoint and include the API key in the X-API-Key header. Your agent can now call tools/list and tools/call.

POST https://api.mcpfordevs.com/mcp/{orgSlug}/{serverSlug}
X-API-Key: your-api-key
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "method": "tools/list"
}
