Expose MCP Gateway

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Expose custom backend functions to Claude desktop via the MCP protocol using a single HTTP endpoint.

• 2

  Self-host private tools with typed arguments and custom logic (e.g., subscription management) without relying on third-party hosted integrations.

• 3

  A unified gateway to register multiple tools with expose-cli and easily deploy or test locally before publishing.

Description

Expose lets you build self-hosted MCP tools and serve them through a unified HTTP endpoint that can be registered with the expose-cli and used by the Claude desktop app. It provides a simple API for defining typed tools (example uses Zod for argument schemas) and wiring them into a single fetch handler for easy deployment. The project emphasizes flexibility, local or public hosting, and straightforward integration into the Claude MCP configuration.
