About MCP Evolution API Supergateway
MCP Evolution API Supergateway bridges an Evolution API-backed stdio MCP server to an SSE endpoint. It is intended for remote MCP connections and integrations such as n8n.
Key features
- 01Bridges stdio MCP to SSE
- 02Connects to Evolution API
- 03Runs as a Docker container
Use cases
- 01Expose the MCP server for remote connections
- 02Connect the endpoint to n8n
MCP support
It exposes the stdio MCP server defined in `index.js` through an SSE endpoint at `/sse`.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEMCP Evolution API Supergateway
MCP Evo Supergateway is gateway application to interface with the Evolution API.
It sets up an stdio MCP server defined in index.js and exposes it as a server-sent events (SSE) endpoint, making it ideal for remote connections or integration with tools like n8n.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
