# reShapr

> reShapr is a no-code AI translation layer that instantly converts existing APIs (REST, gRPC, GraphQL) into secure, production-ready MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers — without writing a line of code.

reShapr enables enterprises to expose their APIs to AI agents and LLMs via the Model Context Protocol. It handles authentication, authorization, context control, and multi-tenant deployment so teams can move from API to AI-native endpoint in seconds.

**Key concepts:**
- **MCP (Model Context Protocol)**: An open standard by Anthropic for connecting LLMs to external tools and data sources. reShapr implements and extends it for enterprise use.
- **No-code server creation**: Connect an existing API artifact (OpenAPI spec, gRPC proto, etc.) and reShapr generates a secure MCP server automatically.
- **Context control**: reShapr filters which tools are exposed to which agents, preventing context overload and keeping LLM interactions precise.
- **Gateway groups**: Logical groupings of MCP gateways for multi-tenant and multi-environment deployments.
- **Hybrid deployment**: Run reShapr in the cloud, on-premise, or in hybrid configurations via Docker Compose or Helm charts.
