🛠 Harbor: A Secure MCP Gateway for AI Agents

Harbor is a TypeScript-based gateway built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allows AI agents to securely connect to existing backend APIs. Instead of creating separate MCP tools for every single endpoint, the project utilizes "Code Mode," providing the agent with universal tools to write JavaScript code within an isolated V8 sandbox. The system supports OAuth 2.1, a circuit breaker mechanism, and detailed logging.

🌍 Harbor solves the MCP scalability problem, enabling the integration of complex APIs with hundreds of endpoints without overloading the model's context window and without requiring modifications to existing backend code.

👤 This gives your AI agents (such as those in Claude or Cursor) powerful and secure access to real-world working tools and data via a standard protocol, while maintaining security control.
