XPack -Marketplace

XPack is a full-featured MCP marketplace that lets you deploy and operate an MCP market where developers can publish and monetize their MCP services. The stack includes a backend, frontend, and various services (MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ) managed behind a single deployment. The marketplace provides one-click OpenAPI to generate MCP service configurations, an SEO-friendly homepage and service pages, built-in billing (per-call or token-based), user accounts, Stripe payments, and sign-in via email or Google OAuth. To use it, deploy the provided Docker image as described, then access the admin interface to manage services, billing, and users. The frontend UI will be served by the container, while the backend APIs handle service provisioning, user management, and transactions.

Once running, you can create, configure, and publish MCP services through the admin UI, test generated OpenAPI configurations, and integrate payments via Stripe for monetization. Customers can discover services via the marketplace, sign in, and subscribe or pay per call depending on the configured billing model. Administrative tasks such as user management, order tracking, and service updates are accessible from the admin panel.

Prerequisites:

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your host
• Basic familiarity with pulling and running containerized services

Step-by-step:

1. Ensure runtime dependencies are available (MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ) as described in the deployment docs. Start these services or use the provided docker-compose setup.

2. Pull and run the market container:

   • You can deploy via Docker directly using: docker run -i xpackai/xpack-mcp-market

3. Access the marketplace UI and admin panel:

   • Admin UI: http://<host>:8000/admin
   • Public marketplace: http://<host>:8000/

4. If you plan to use local frontend/backend builds, follow the Build section in the README to build frontend assets and start the backend services as separate processes (UVicorn for Python backend, etc.).

5. Configure environment variables as needed for production (e.g., database connection, API URL, and payment settings) via your chosen deployment method (Docker environment variables, Kubernetes secrets, etc.).

Tips and common issues:

• Ensure MySQL, Redis, and RabbitMQ are reachable by the marketplace backend before starting the container.
• If you use Docker Compose, ensure the port mappings match your host (the docs map port 8000 to 80 inside the container; adjust as needed).
• For production, set up proper environment variables for NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL, database credentials, and Stripe keys.
• If the frontend cannot reach the backend, verify the API URL configuration and network connectivity between containers.
• Regularly update the container image to incorporate security patches and new features from the XPack MCP Market project.
