Code2MCP: Transforming Code Repositories into MCP Services

Understand

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to create a standard for how Large Language Models use tools.

• However, most current research focuses on selecting tools from an existing pool.
• A more fundamental, yet largely overlooked, problem is how to populate this pool by converting the vast number of existing software projects into MCP-compatible services.
• To bridge this gap, we introduce Code2MCP, an agent-based framework that automatically transforms a GitHub repository into a functional MCP service with minimal human intervention.
