Examples & Tutorials
Welcome to the gen-mcp examples gallery! These comprehensive tutorials demonstrate how to integrate different types of services and APIs as MCP tools. Each example includes step-by-step instructions, configuration breakdowns, and best practices.
Whether you’re wrapping a local CLI tool, converting a REST API, or integrating a gRPC service, these examples will guide you through the process.
🤖 Ollama Integration
Connect local language models to MCP Clients with gen-mcp in two ways: by wrapping the Ollama CLI, and by wrapping the Ollama HTTP endpoints.
What you'll learn:
- HTTP-based and CLI-based tool integration
- Input schema validation
- Tool configuration best practices
🔗 HTTP API Conversion
Transform any REST API into MCP tools automatically. Learn how to use OpenAPI specs to generate complete MCP servers in seconds.
What you'll learn:
- Automatic OpenAPI → MCP conversion
- Path parameter substitution
- Customizing generated configurations
🔌 gRPC Service Integration
Expose existing gRPC services to LLMs without modifying service code using gRPC-Gateway to create an HTTP/JSON proxy.
Perfect for:
- 🏢 Integrating legacy gRPC services with AI workflows
- 🔄 Bridging binary gRPC with JSON-based LLM interfaces
- 🚀 Getting started before native gRPC support arrives
