Unla is a tool that lets you turn your existing APIs or MCP servers into MCP-compatible services without writing any code. You just configure it with a YAML file, and it handles the rest. It comes with a web interface to manage everything easily.
Unla is a lightweight, highly available gateway service written in Go. It enables individuals and organizations to convert their existing MCP Servers and APIs into services compliant with the MCP Protocol — all through configuration, with zero code changes. Key features include: zero intrusion (platform-agnostic, supports bare metal, VMs, ECS, Kubernetes), configuration-driven conversion (YAML-based), lightweight and efficient design, and a built-in management UI. It supports Docker deployment and provides multiple endpoints for MCP communication. The project is under rapid development but aims to maintain backward compatibility.
Looks usable, but maintenance, license, or security notes deserve a closer look.
