How It Works

reShapr is a zero-code AI translation layer. Instead of building an MCP server from scratch, you can use reShapr to instantly translate your existing APIs (REST, gRPC, GraphQL) into AI-native endpoints.

With reShapr, you can create secure MCP servers in seconds without coding by connecting the platform to your existing API artifacts.

As of today, reShapr supports ingesting:

  • OpenAPI 3.x specifications
  • GraphQL schemas
  • gRPC/Protocol Buffer definitions

Once reShapr discovers your services, you configure:

  • Security mechanisms
  • Exposition options (all operations, read-only operations, etc.)
  • Existing backend endpoint targets

Then reShapr exposes your MCP server through gateways in a multi-tenant and secure way.

Core Architecture

At the core of reShapr is a robust architecture built to support service-level objectives and location constraints.

The platform has two major parts:

  • Control plane: centralizes exposition configuration and policies.
  • Data plane: gateways that expose MCP servers and route runtime traffic.

This architecture supports multiple deployment models:

  1. Cloud: reShapr hosts both control plane and data plane.
  2. Hybrid: you host some gateways in your own trust domain while reShapr manages control.
  3. On-premises: both control and data planes in your own environment.

This is what flexibility means for enterprise MCP adoption.
