The AI plugin category only has English documentation. To ensure developers from diverse backgrounds can effectively use and contribute to the project, Chinese documentation needs to be added.
Feature Highlights
Add mcp-bridge Plugin
PR: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12151
Contributor: bzp2010
This PR introduces a new plugin called mcp-bridge, enabling users to convert any stdio-based mcp server to HTTP SSE-based. It consists of two parts, one for stdio handling and subprocess lifecycle management, and a submodule for MCP session management.
This PR also includes a lightweight MCP session management module. It assigns session IDs and manages queues and ping timers for sessions. Using a shared dictionary, it ensures proper functionality even when SSE connections and RPC calls are handled by different NGINX workers.
