MCP Bridge by Appfactor features

  • Schema-driven tool generation. Imports OpenAPI, GraphQL, WSDL or .proto schemas and creates fully typed MCP tools automatically.
  • Self-hosted deployment. Runs in a Docker container on any orchestrator (AWS ECS, Azure Container Apps, etc.) with zero SaaS dependencies.
  • Code Mode token optimization. Reduces context window usage by ~98% using three meta-tools instead of hundreds of individual definitions.
  • Enterprise auth & rate limiting. Supports Bearer, Basic, API Key, OAuth2, AWS Cognito SRP and configurable token bucket limits.
  • Observability dashboard. Provides latency, throughput, token usage and error metrics via OpenTelemetry integration.
  • Semantic tool search. Hybrid full-text, fuzzy and optional vector similarity search for quick tool discovery.

Unified MCP Server features

  • Zero-storage architecture. Tool calls fetch data directly from source APIs; no data is cached or stored.
  • Authorization-first access. All tools require explicit customer authorization before they become callable.
  • Bi-directional actions. Agents can read and write data (e.g., update records) where the integration supports it.
  • Unified auth handling. OAuth, API-key flows, token refresh and optional embedded sign-in UI are provided out of the box.
  • Tool discovery controls. Scope available tools to fit model limits and reduce surface area.
  • SDKs & language support. Client SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Ruby, Go and UI components for React, Vue, Angular, JS.
  • Embedded security boundaries. Each connection defines isolated access, with read/write, object and action restrictions.
  • Virtual & native webhooks. Unlimited webhook subscriptions with virtual polling for systems lacking native webhooks.
