The Wanaku MCP Router is a router for AI-enabled applications powered by the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/).
This protocol is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs.
The project name comes from the origins of the word [Guanaco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanaco), a camelid native to
South America.
## Key Features
- **Unified Access** - Centralized routing and resource management for AI agents
- **MCP-to-MCP Bridge** - Act as a gateway or proxy for other MCP servers
- **Extensive Connectivity** - Leverage 300+ Apache Camel components for integration
- **Secure by Default** - Built-in authentication and authorization via Keycloak
- **Kubernetes-Native** - First-class support for OpenShift and Kubernetes deployments
- **Extensible Architecture** - Easy to add custom tools and resource providers
- **Multi-Namespace Support** - Organize tools and resources across isolated namespaces
