mcp-anything

Overview

MCP-Anything transforms any data source into a fully implemented MCP server either through a natural language brief describing what agents should be able to do, or by scanning existing codebases and API specifications. It supports multiple output targets including FastMCP (Python) and mcp-use (TypeScript), with both stdio and HTTP transport options. The tool automatically applies MCP design principles like grouping CRUD operations into single tools, providing full lifecycle coverage, and generating comprehensive SKILL.md documentation for AI agents.
