+## Description
+
+The `mcp-bridge` Plugin exposes a stdio-based Model Context Protocol
+(MCP) server through HTTP Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoints. When a
+client connects to the SSE endpoint, APISIX starts the configured MCP
+server process, forwards client messages to the process through stdin,
+and streams MCP responses back to the client.
+
+For a Route configured with `base_uri: /mcp`, the Plugin exposes:
+
+- `GET /mcp/sse`: the SSE endpoint used by MCP clients.
+- `POST /mcp/message?sessionId=<session-id>`: the endpoint used to send
+  client messages to the MCP session.
+
+Only configure commands that you trust. The configured process runs on
+the same host as APISIX and is managed by the APISIX worker handling the
+MCP session.
+
+## Attributes
+
+| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `base_uri` | string | False | `""` | URI prefix for the generated MCP SSE and message endpoints. |
+| `command` | string | True | | Command used to start the stdio-based MCP server. |
+| `args` | array[string] | False | | Arguments passed to `command`. |
+
+## Examples
+
+The following example demonstrates how to expose a stdio-based MCP
+server through APISIX.
+
+:::note
+
+You can fetch the `admin_key` from `config.yaml` and save to an
+environment variable with the following command:
+
+```shell
+admin_key=$(yq '.deployment.admin.admin_key[0].key' conf/config.yaml | sed 's/"//g')
+```
+

+            args:
+              - path/to/mcp-server.js
+```
+
+Synchronize the configuration to the gateway:
+
+```shell
+adc sync -f adc.yaml
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+</Tabs>
+
+Connect an MCP client to the SSE endpoint:
+
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:9080/mcp/sse
+```
+
+The Plugin sends an `endpoint` SSE event that contains the message
+endpoint for the session. MCP clients use that endpoint to send
+JSON-RPC messages back to APISIX.

+## 描述
+
+`mcp-bridge` 插件用于通过 HTTP Server-Sent Events（SSE）端点暴露基于 stdio 的 Model Context Protocol（MCP）服务器。当客户端连接到 SSE 端点时，APISIX 会启动配置的 MCP 服务器进程，通过 stdin 将客户端消息转发给该进程，并将 MCP 响应流式返回给客户端。
+
+如果路由配置了 `base_uri: /mcp`，该插件会暴露以下端点：
+
+- `GET /mcp/sse`：MCP 客户端使用的 SSE 端点。
+- `POST /mcp/message?sessionId=<session-id>`：用于向 MCP 会话发送客户端消息的端点。
+
+请仅配置你信任的命令。配置的进程会运行在 APISIX 所在主机上，并由处理 MCP 会话的 APISIX worker 管理。
+
+## 插件属性
+
+| 名称 | 类型 | 必选项 | 默认值 | 描述 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `base_uri` | string | 否 | `""` | 生成 MCP SSE 和消息端点时使用的 URI 前缀。 |
+| `command` | string | 是 | | 用于启动基于 stdio 的 MCP 服务器的命令。 |
+| `args` | array[string] | 否 | | 传递给 `command` 的参数。 |
+
+## 使用示例
+
+以下示例演示了如何通过 APISIX 暴露一个基于 stdio 的 MCP 服务器。
+
+:::note
+
+你可以使用以下命令从 `config.yaml` 中获取 `admin_key` 并保存到环境变量中：
+
+```shell
+admin_key=$(yq '.deployment.admin.admin_key[0].key' conf/config.yaml | sed 's/"//g')
+```
+
+:::
+
+### 暴露 MCP 服务器
+
+创建一个配置了 `mcp-bridge` 插件的路由：

+            args:
+              - path/to/mcp-server.js
+```
+
+将配置同步到网关：
+
+```shell
+adc sync -f adc.yaml
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+</Tabs>
+
+将 MCP 客户端连接到 SSE 端点：
+
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:9080/mcp/sse
+```
+
+插件会发送一个 `endpoint` SSE 事件，该事件包含当前会话的消息端点。MCP 客户端使用该端点将 JSON-RPC 消息发送回 APISIX。
