Infrastructure

Production-Grade MCP Infrastructure

The Gateway, Marketplace & Creation Ecosystem for Model Context Protocol servers

Commands.com has built a comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) infrastructure that connects MCP creators with users through a secure marketplace. Our gateway and creation ecosystem enable developers to monetize their MCP servers with enterprise-grade reliability while maintaining full control over their own infrastructure.

🌊 Streamable HTTP with Automatic Fallback

Our gateway speaks plain HTTP for setup requests and transparently upgrades to Server-Sent Events (SSE) for live event streams—no special ports, no WebSocket handshakes, and it automatically downgrades to classic HTTP when a proxy or client can't hold a stream.

  • Universal Compatibility – Streams through corporate firewalls, CDNs and load balancers
  • Automatic Detection – Gateway upgrades to SSE when supported, caches the capability, and downgrades transparently
  • Zero Configuration – One header (Accept: text/event-stream) turns any MCP method into a live stream

📊 Built-in Resilience & Observability

Resilience built-in. Heartbeats, ID-based resume, exponential back-off.
Protection by default. Per-IP rate limits and Redis-backed capability cache.
Full observability. Real-time dashboards for active streams, errors and downgrades.

⚡ Zero-Friction Developer Experience

Launch a production-ready MCP server with one command:

npx create-commands-mcp my-awesome-server

Add one header to stream; the gateway handles the rest.

🛠️ LLM-Powered Creation Ecosystem

LLMs analyse trending commands, suggest categorisation and autofill commands.yaml, so every conversation can become a publish-ready MCP in minutes. This transforms every Claude conversation into a potential command creation session with instant access to the entire Commands.com knowledge base.

🏗️ Technical Architecture

Layer Stack & Role
Frontend AWS App Runner; Lambda for background jobs
API Gateway Go, OAuth 2.0, Redis caching, Streamable HTTP proxy
Reference MCP Node.js server (REST + JSON-RPC)
Shared State DynamoDB tables, Firebase Auth

🚀 Results: Exponential Ecosystem Growth

By eliminating infrastructure complexity and providing LLM-assisted creation tools, we've reduced the barrier to MCP server creation from "figure out the entire system" to "describe what you want to build." Early results show:

  • Onboarding time: minutes, not weeks
  • Zero operational overhead for authors
  • 100% success rate across network environments in early tests

Our vision: every developer should extend AI workflows without becoming a distributed-systems engineer. Commands.com supplies the rails—creators supply the imagination.
