## What it is
Unla is a lightweight, configuration-driven MCP gateway written in Go that converts existing MCP servers and REST APIs into MCP-compliant endpoints with zero code changes. It ships with a built-in web management UI and supports Docker deployment on bare metal, VMs, ECS, or Kubernetes.

## Use cases
- expose existing REST APIs as MCP servers for AI agents
- aggregate multiple MCP servers behind a single gateway
- convert legacy APIs to MCP without modifying code
- manage MCP server configurations through a web UI
- deploy an MCP gateway with Docker
- route LLM tool calls to internal APIs via MCP

## When to choose
- you need to make existing HTTP/REST APIs available to MCP clients without writing code
- you want a centralized gateway to manage and proxy multiple MCP servers
- you prefer configuration-driven (YAML) API-to-MCP conversion
- you need a self-hosted gateway with a management UI and Docker deployment

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed backward compatibility across versions, as the project is under rapid development
- you want a fully managed cloud MCP service rather than self-hosting
- your APIs require complex transformation logic beyond what YAML configuration supports
