Introduction to OmniMCP
OmniMCP is a comprehensive SDK for integrating with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling seamless communication between AI models and external tools.
What is Model Context Protocol?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to data sources and tools. It provides a unified way for AI models to:
- Access local and remote data sources
- Execute tools and functions
- Maintain context across interactions
- Handle authentication and permissions
Why OmniMCP?
While MCP provides the protocol specification, OmniMCP offers a production-ready implementation with:
- Multiple Transport Support - Connect via stdio, SSE, or HTTP
- AI Integration - Built-in support for OpenAI and Anthropic
- Robust Error Handling - Automatic retries and helpful error messages
- Developer Tools - CLI and Web UI for testing and debugging
- TypeScript First - Full type safety and IntelliSense support
Architecture Overview
OmniMCP follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:
