How to Set Up and Use HiMarket
HiMarket is an enterprise-level AI capability marketplace and developer ecosystem platform built on the Higress gateway project, offering a unified hub for publishing, discovering, and operating AI models, MCP servers, agents, and skills. It provides both a Model Marketplace and an MCP Marketplace alongside built-in HiChat conversation and HiCoding programming environments, allowing organizations to package proprietary AI assets and expose them internally or externally through a governed API layer. Development teams use HiMarket to standardize how AI capabilities are consumed across their organization, replacing ad-hoc provider integrations with a managed, versioned catalog.
Prerequisites
- JDK 17, Node.js 18+, and Maven 3.6+ for local development setup
- Docker and Docker Compose for containerized deployment (recommended)
- MySQL 8.0+ database with credentials configured
- kubectl and Helm if deploying to Kubernetes
Clone the HiMarket repository
Clone the repository to get the deployment scripts and configuration files.
git clone https://github.com/higress-group/himarket.git
cd himarketDeploy with Docker Compose (recommended)
Use the provided install script to deploy all services including the backend, frontend portals, and MySQL database via Docker Compose.
cd deploy/docker
./install.shConfigure database environment variables
Set database connection details either in a .env file or as exported environment variables before running the installer. These configure how the backend connects to MySQL.
export DB_HOST=localhost
export DB_PORT=3306
export DB_NAME=himarket
export DB_USERNAME=root
export DB_PASSWORD=your_passwordAccess the portals
Once deployed, access the Admin Portal to configure marketplaces and manage assets, and the Developer Portal to discover and consume AI capabilities. The backend API is also available for programmatic integration.
# Admin Portal: http://localhost:5174
# Developer Portal: http://localhost:5173
# Backend API: http://localhost:8080Publish and discover MCP servers through the marketplace
Use the MCP Marketplace section in HiMarket to register your own MCP servers or discover community-contributed ones. Once registered, capabilities appear in HiChat and can be consumed by connected AI clients.

Example prompts for interacting with the HiMarket ecosystem via an AI assistant.
- "Show me all available AI models in the HiMarket Model Marketplace"
- "List all registered MCP servers in the marketplace and their capabilities"
- "Help me deploy HiMarket using Docker Compose by reading the deployment docs"
- "What agents are available in the Agent Marketplace?"
- "Show me how to publish a new MCP server to the HiMarket MCP Marketplace"Troubleshooting HiMarket
install.sh fails with database connection errors
Verify all DB_* environment variables are exported before running install.sh. Ensure MySQL 8.0+ is running and the himarket database exists. Run 'mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE himarket;"' to create it if needed.
Frontend portals return blank pages or 502 errors
The frontend depends on the backend API being healthy. Check backend logs with 'docker compose logs backend' and verify the API is responding at http://localhost:8080. Restart services with 'docker compose restart' if needed.
JDK 17 or Maven version mismatch for local development
HiMarket requires exactly JDK 17 and Maven 3.6+. Run 'java -version' and 'mvn -version' to confirm. Use SDKMAN (sdkman.io) or a package manager to install the correct versions without affecting your system Java.
