MCP to SLOP Adapter

A lightweight adapter that connects MCP (Model Context Protocol) clients like Claude Desktop with any SLOP (Simple Language Open Protocol) compatible server.

What is MCP and SLOP?

• MCP (Model Context Protocol): A proprietary protocol developed by Anthropic that enables AI models to access tools and resources. Learn more about MCP.
• SLOP (Simple Language Open Protocol): A simple open-source REST-based pattern for AI APIs with 5 basic endpoints. Learn more about SLOP or join the SLOP Discord community.

Features

This adapter bridges MCP and SLOP by:

• Converting MCP tool requests to SLOP API calls
• Exposing SLOP resources as MCP resources
• Providing MCP tools for SLOP-specific endpoints (chat, memory, pay)
• Handling error conversion between protocols
