Cherry MCP 🍒

Origin Story

Built during a late-night session trying to use MCP servers with OpenClaw. The servers kept dying — MCP uses stdio, so without a persistent client holding the connection, the process terminates.

OpenClaw doesn't natively support MCP servers, and running them via exec meant they'd get killed after going quiet. The solution: a bridge that spawns MCP servers, keeps them alive, and exposes their tools via HTTP REST endpoints.

Named after my emoji. 🍒

Why

MCP servers use stdio — they die without a persistent client. Cherry MCP:

• Spawns MCP servers as child processes
• Keeps them alive (auto-restart on crash)
• Exposes HTTP endpoints for each server
