+# 🔄 MCP → OpenAPI Proxy (Reference)
+
+This folder contains a minimal Python reference implementation demonstrating how to expose MCP tool servers as OpenAPI-compatible REST APIs.
+
+⚠️ This is a REFERENCE implementation and is not actively maintained. It exists for educational purposes or for those needing direct customization.
+
+✅ For a production-ready, feature-rich solution, we strongly recommend using the maintained `mcpo` tool instead:
+
+👉 https://github.com/open-webui/mcpo — Contributions welcome!
+
+## 🔧 Quick Start
+
+Make sure uvx is installed and available.
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Run the server:
+
+```bash
+python main.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 -- uvx mcp-server-time --local-timezone=America/New_York
+```
+
+Your MCP server will now be available as an OpenAPI-compatible API.
