}What is Centralmind/Gateway
Simple way to expose your database to AI-Agent via MCP or OpenAPI 3.1 protocols.
docker run --platform linux/amd64 -p 9090:9090 \
ghcr.io/centralmind/gateway:v0.2.18 start \
--connection-string "postgres://db-user:db-password@db-host/db-name?sslmode=require"
This will run for you an API:
INFO Gateway server started successfully!
INFO MCP SSE server for AI agents is running at: http://localhost:9090/sse
INFO REST API with Swagger UI is available at: http://localhost:9090/
Which you can use inside your AI Agent:
Gateway will generate AI optimized API.
