No install snippet on purpose. A working MCP config is a command, its arguments and an environment block — the last two are where API keys live, so this catalogue never stores them and cannot publish them. Follow the link above for the authors' own instructions.
Barbacane compiles OpenAPI and AsyncAPI into a signed artifact that enforces routing, validation, authentication, rate limiting, a WAF, and observability. The same middleware chain routes LLM calls and exposes APIs to agents as typed MCP tools. Enabling MCP at the spec root makes existing APIs agent-callable, applying authentication, rate limits, validation, and audit logging to tool calls.
The AI dispatcher routes outbound LLM requests through OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama with provider fallback and policy-driven targets. Barbacane features autonomous data planes that run independently. Barbacane is open source under the AGPLv3.
