How to Set Up and Use Unified Gateway
The Unified Gateway MCP server acts as a single entry point to a marketplace of MCP tools and custom MCP servers, letting AI agents discover and execute any connected tool through just two meta-tools: search and execute. Rather than configuring dozens of individual MCP servers, developers can connect to the MCP360 gateway with one API key and access keyword research, SEO analysis, email verification, web scraping, Google Trends data, cryptocurrency pricing, and any custom MCPs they have built. This dramatically simplifies MCP infrastructure for teams managing multiple agent tools.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later with npm and npx available
- An MCP360 account and MCP360_API_KEY from the MCP360 platform
- An MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code
Install the Unified Gateway package globally (optional)
You can install globally or use npx directly. Global install avoids download time on each start.
npm install -g @mcp360/universal-gatewayObtain your MCP360 API key
Sign up at the MCP360 platform and retrieve your API key from the dashboard. This key authenticates all requests through the unified gateway.
Add the Unified Gateway to your MCP client configuration
Add the gateway server to your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP settings with your MCP360 API key.

}
}
}
}Discover available tools via the search tool
Ask your AI assistant to search the tool marketplace to see what capabilities are available through the gateway.
Execute tools through the gateway
Once you have found a tool via search, use the execute meta-tool to run it with the appropriate parameters. The gateway routes the call to the correct backend service.

Example prompts that leverage the Unified Gateway's search and execute tools.
- "Search for tools related to SEO keyword research"
- "Execute the email verification tool for [email protected]"
- "Find web scraping tools in the marketplace and use one to extract content from a URL"
- "Search for Google Trends tools and show me trending topics for 'AI agents'"
- "List all available tools in the unified gateway marketplace"Troubleshooting Unified Gateway
Authentication error on startup
Verify MCP360_API_KEY is set correctly in your MCP config env block. The key must be active and associated with a valid MCP360 account. Log in to the MCP360 dashboard to regenerate a key if needed.
search tool returns no results
Try a broader search query or use an empty query to list all available tools. If results are still empty, check that MCP360_GATEWAY_URL points to the correct endpoint and that your API key has access to the marketplace.
execute tool fails with 'tool not found'
Use the search tool first to get the exact tool name as registered in the marketplace. Tool names are case-sensitive. Ensure the tool is available in your MCP360 plan tier.
