Quick Start

Get up and running with secure MCP tools in 60 seconds.

Prerequisites

You need Claude Code installed. The installer handles everything else.

Step 1: Run the Installer

One command installs the gateway and configures Claude Code automatically:

This installs:

• siteboss - The MCP gateway runtime
• wasmtime - WebAssembly runtime (if not present)
• MCP configuration - Auto-added to Claude Code

Step 2: Verify Installation

Check that the gateway is properly configured:

claude mcp list

You should see tool-gateway in the list with status "Connected".

Step 3: Start Using Tools

Now just ask your AI assistant to find and use tools:

• "Find me a QR code generator"
• "Load the PDF parsing tool"
• "What tools are available for image processing?"

Manual Configuration (Optional)

If you prefer to configure manually or the auto-setup didn't run:

claude mcp add --transport stdio tool-gateway -- siteboss mcp gateway

The Five Meta-Tools

The gateway exposes exactly five tools:

Tool	Purpose	Example
tool_search	Search registry by natural language	"find QR code generator"
tool_load	Pull and instantiate component	test/qr-generator:v1.0.0
tool_list	Show loaded tools	-
tool_call	Execute a loaded tool	generate(text="...")
tool_unload	Remove from memory	-
