About a Project

AI agents and large language models (LLMs) are natively sandboxed and isolated from private databases, system terminals, and external vendor APIs. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) introduced an open standard to connect LLMs to live tools. However, deploying, scaling, and managing dozens of independent MCP servers securely for production applications remains a heavy infrastructure burden. Developers struggle to configure credentials, monitor payload throughput, manage rate limits, and dynamically discover active tools. OpenPlugAI was conceived to be the ultimate, high-performance orchestration gateway that bridges any AI agent to real-world APIs in seconds.

Project idea

  • Developing a high-performance proxy routing layer for MCP servers
  • Automating custom API schema parsing and dynamic tool mapping
  • Designing an interactive discovery console for community server connectors

Solutions we've delivered

  • Model Context Protocol Orchestration: Engineered a high-performance proxy routing layer that handles bidirectional JSON-RPC messages between LLM clients and a...
  • Dynamic Server Registration Core: Built an schema-agnostic server registration pipeline in Next.js and MongoDB, enabling developers to connect any API by ...

  • Live Tool Telemetry & Auditing: Developed real-time logs that record token usage, API response parameters, and error rates, giving audit teams complete ...
  • One-Click MCP Marketplace: Created a searchable portal containing 50+ pre-built community server connectors (GitHub, PostgreSQL, Slack, Google Driv...

Results

  • 10x reduction in developer effort required to connect APIs to AI agents
  • Sub-10ms proxy routing latency for Model Context Protocol requests
  • Over 50+ pre-built MCP servers deployable with a single click
  • Orchestration of 5M+ daily tool call invocations with 100% service uptime
02The Challenge

Business Challenges

Our client required an integrated, scale-ready solution to overcome complex structural hurdles, compliance standards, and user experience pain points.

  • Integrating secure row-level access permissions for LLM agents
  • Normalizing diverse and unstructured API schema definitions
  • Maintaining sub-10ms latency thresholds for real-time JSON-RPC proxy routing

03Platform Goals

Project Goals

The platform was developed considering the local industry specificities and further strategic product partnership.

Model Context Protocol Orchestration

  • Engineered a high-performance proxy routing layer that handles bidirectional JSON-RPC messages between LLM clients and active MCP servers, keeping latency under 10ms.

Dynamic Server Registration Core

  • Built an schema-agnostic server registration pipeline in Next.js and MongoDB, enabling developers to connect any API by supplying a standard OpenAPI schema or custom TypeScript template.

Secure Key & Access Management

  • Implemented row-level encryption and secure token authentication models, ensuring that LLM agents only query allowed MCP sub-servers with pre-configured access rights.

Live Tool Telemetry & Auditing

  • Developed real-time logs that record token usage, API response parameters, and error rates, giving audit teams complete visibility into agentic operations.

One-Click MCP Marketplace

  • Created a searchable portal containing 50+ pre-built community server connectors (GitHub, PostgreSQL, Slack, Google Drive) that spin up instantly without configuration.

05Engineering Cycle

Application development

We structured the development cycle following modern architectural paradigms to achieve high agility and rapid deployment.

  • We provided a dedicated AI middleware team: PM, JSON-RPC schema designer, Next.js leads, MongoDB architect, and security QA engineers.
  • The gateway was developed in 4 months using Next.js, Fastify, MongoDB database replicas, and custom token-throttling middleware.
  • We integrated Auth0 authorization scopes and deployed dynamic Docker-based MCP connectors.

Client Feedback

Client Review

OpenPlugAI resolved tool integration bottlenecks for AI developers, reducing deployment lifecycles from weeks to under 60 seconds and processing over 5 million daily tool call invocations securely.

Being able to configure and discover MCP servers instantly has changed how we build agentic tools. The latency is practically non-existent.
