# Karada (`https://karada.ai`)

> Karada is the complete infrastructure platform and high-performance Go engine to auto-generate, productionize, host, and distribute Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers from APIs.

## Core Capabilities & Architecture
- **Multi-Source Ingestion**: Link an OpenAPI / Swagger spec (URLs, JSON/YAML files) or Postman collection → instant Go MCP server compiled on `StreamableHTTPServerTransport`.
- **Bring Your Own MCP (BYO-MCP)**: Link any existing Streamable HTTP MCP server and attach Karada's 1-click plugin and security layer on top.
- **1-Click Composable Plugins**: Drop in Sentry error tracing, Google Analytics (GA4) telemetry, Slack alert webhooks, Zero-Trust Secret Vaults (models never touch raw keys), and AI Firewalls.
- **CI/CD Auto-Sync**: Webhooks diff the spec AST and auto-recompile with zero downtime on updates.
- **In-Browser MCP Inspector**: Visual inspector for live tool testing, schema inspection, and real-time JSON-RPC payload debugging (`https://karada.ai/project/[slug]/inspector`).
- **Official MCP Registry & Distribution**: Curated catalog of official and community MCP servers (GitHub, Slack, PostgreSQL, Notion, Stripe, Jira, etc.). Publish to our registry to get your tools directly in front of users using our universal gateway across Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and enterprise agent fleets.
- **Unified & Multi-Gateway Architecture**: Universal endpoint (`https://gateway.karada.ai/mcp`) supporting multiple isolated gateways per team with dedicated tokens, scope switcher, and live `/gateway/logs` audit telemetry. Configure once on Karada and use across multiple harnesses while enforcing organizational standards.
- **Enhanced Gateway & Context-Saving Agent (`karada_agent`)**: Embeds an autonomous AI agent meta-tool in Enhanced Gateway mode—AI clients only hold 1 schema (~300 tokens) while the server-side Go engine dynamically orchestrates multi-step tool workflows, eliminating prompt token bloat.
- **High-Performance Go Engine**: Built on a high-concurrency, low-latency Go runtime using `StreamableHTTPServerTransport`, benchmarked for 10,000+ concurrent streams with sub-5ms overhead.

## Target Audiences & Solutions
- **Engineering Leaders & CTOs**: Host internal microservices as secure, versioned MCP tools for Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and internal AI agents without maintaining tool adapters.
- **DevRel & API Product Managers**: Deploy an official, auto-updated MCP server for your API in seconds, making your service instantly compatible with every AI IDE.
- **AI Agent Platform Builders**: Embed Karada's spec-to-tool compilation pipeline to allow users to import any REST API as a first-class tool connector.

## Key Differentiators vs Competitors
- **Only Independent Spec-to-Server Compiler**: Unlike Arcade ($60M), Composio ($29M), or Modus ($10M) which require pre-built connectors or manual wrappers, Karada dynamically compiles live servers from raw OpenAPI definitions and Postman collections.
- **Production-Grade Go Runtime**: Native Go concurrency engine outperforming Node.js and Python wrappers with lower memory footprint and stateless request/response scaling.
- **Plugin-First Governance**: Flexible authentication, transport-layer security, audit logging, and domain access controls.
