Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Multi-Service GatewayCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)npxArguments-
Argument 1

- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
1. Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-server.git
cd mcp-server
2. Install Python dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Install Node.js dependencies:
npm install
4. Create a .env file with your configuration:
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
DEBUG=False
GITHUB_TOKEN=your-github-token
GITLAB_TOKEN=your-gitlab-token
GMAPS_API_KEY=your-google-maps-api-key
MEMORY_DB_URI=sqlite:///memory.db
PUPPETEER_HEADLESS=true
CHROME_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser
5. Start the server:
python app.py
You can run the server using either Docker or Podman (Red Hat's container engine).
If you already have Docker and docker-compose installed:
1. Build the Docker image:
docker build -t mcp-server .
2. Run the container:
docker run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env mcp-server
3. Alternatively, use docker-compose:
Create a docker-compose.yml file:
version: '3'
services:
mcp-server:
build: .
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- ./data:/app/data
env_file:
- .env
restart: unless-stopped
Then run:
docker-compose up -d
For Red Hat based systems (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora) using Podman:
1. Build the container image:
podman build -t mcp-server .
2. Run the container:
podman run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env mcp-server
3. If you need persistent storage:
mkdir -p ./data
podman run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env -v ./data:/app/data:Z mcp-server
Note: The
:Z suffix is important for SELinux-enabled systems.

NOTE: This project is no longer being maintained, as issues with model memory for smaller models means my preferred method for MCP servers is as individual containerized server providers rather than a monolithic routing provider. Code is being kept up in case others still want to try to go down this route.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
A modular server that implements the Model Context Protocol standard, providing tools for GitHub, GitLab, Google Maps, Memory storage, and Puppeteer web automation.
Architecture
The MCP server is built with a modular architecture, where each tool is implemented as a separate module. The server provides a unified gateway that routes requests to the appropriate tool.

Features
- MCP Gateway: A unified endpoint for all tool requests following the MCP standard
- MCP Manifest: An endpoint that describes all available tools and their capabilities
- Direct Tool Access: Each tool can be accessed directly via its own API endpoints
- Modular Design: Easy to add or remove tools as needed
Included Tools
1. GitHub Tool: Interact with GitHub repositories, issues, and search
2. GitLab Tool: Interact with GitLab projects, issues, and pipelines
3. Google Maps Tool: Geocoding, directions, and places search
4. Memory Tool: Store and retrieve data persistently
5. Puppeteer Tool: Take screenshots, generate PDFs, and extract content from websites

version: '3'
services:
mcp-server:
build: .
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- ./data:/app/data
env_file:
- .env
restart: unless-stopped
Then run:
docker-compose up -d

Direct Tool Access
Each tool can also be accessed directly via its own API endpoints:
- GitHub: /tool/github/...

- Google Maps: /tool/gmaps/...
- Memory: /tool/memory/...
- Puppeteer: /tool/puppeteer/...
See the API documentation for each tool for details on the available endpoints.
