Run the complete STOA Platform stack on your local machine using Docker Compose. This tutorial shows you how to spin up the Control Plane API, Console UI, Developer Portal, MCP Gateway, Keycloak, and PostgreSQL — all configured and ready to use in under 10 minutes.
STOA Platform is an open-source API gateway designed for the AI era. In this tutorial, you'll go from zero to a working API endpoint in 5 minutes. No complex configuration, no hours reading docs — just clone, run, and publish your first API.
By the end, you'll have STOA's full stack running locally: Control Plane, MCP Gateway, Developer Portal, and Console. You'll create an API, expose it through the gateway, and call it like any production endpoint.
AI agents need a secure, standardized way to access your APIs. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides that bridge, and STOA Platform makes it trivial to deploy. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to set up a production-ready MCP gateway using Docker Compose in under 10 minutes.
New to MCP gateways? Start with our comprehensive guide: What is an MCP Gateway? to understand the architecture and security model before deploying.
By the end of this guide, you'll have a running gateway that exposes your existing REST APIs to AI agents like Claude, connects to authentication, and enforces runtime policies.
