From Connection Chaos to Intelligent Integration

Generating MCP Tools With Gentoro

According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, the technological shift we’re experiencing right now is unprecedented. It’s a turning point in human history. And companies see the writing on the wall: 86% of businesses surveyed expected AI & information processing technologies to drive their transformation by 2030. 

To stay competitive in this new era, orgs and individuals need to adapt. That means upskilling. It means integrating AI into workflows, not just watching from the sidelines. It means building the right infrastructure to let AI agents support, automate, and amplify what we do best.

So why is connecting AI agents to real enterprise systems still so painful? Why are most orgs still stuck grinding out brittle integration code just to give an AI agent access to basic systems?

These are questions we wanted to answer when we launched Gentoro into early access. Since then, we’ve been building and testing Gentoro alongside our beta users, which included devs and architects from organizations in financial services, CPG, SaaS, and healthcare. There were use cases around streamlining production support workflows, automating PO approval, compliance, and cross-system orchestration. There were some very late nights and a lot of async work with teammates across the globe. And after all that, Gentoro 1.0 is GA

What Devs and Orgs Are Dealing With Today

We truly believe that Model Context Protocol (MCP) was a game changer for AI-to-enterprise connection (which is why we built Gentoro from the ground up on MCP). As an open standard that established a universal protocol for connecting LLMs with external data sources and systems, MCP provides a common language and structure so that any agent can use any tool following the same rules. It acts as a translator that can turn even the most vague of requests into reliable instructions. And it completely eliminates vendor lock-in and the need for one-off integrations, ensuring compatibility without limitations. 

But it’s still challenging to implement MCP when you’re trying to connect AI to the enterprise. Without Gentoro (or a platform like it), teams are forced to cobble together complex and costly integration pipelines. Here’s what that typically looks like:

1. Manual API Integration

You start by combing through OpenAPI specs or REST docs. Then you write custom integration code using HTTP clients (Java/Spring, Python/Requests, Node/Axios, etc.) and hope nothing breaks when the backend changes.

2. In-House API Management

Maybe you lean on an internal gateway (Apigee, MuleSoft) to register endpoints and manage auth. But someone still has to do the wiring. And unfortunately, agents still don’t understand what to call.

3. Internal SDK Libraries

You might develop wrappers or SDKs to abstract common APIs and distribute them across teams. This solves consistency, but not speed. 

4. Enterprise Middleware

You deploy Kafka, MQ, TIBCO, or Spring Integration to orchestrate message flows. These are great for traditional applications, but wildly unintuitive for LLMs and agents that expect structured, dynamic tools.

5. Custom Microservices

In the worst (but common) case, you build a fleet of one-off microservices to mediate API calls, perform orchestration, enforce security, and log usage, turning every agent interaction into a multi-week engineering effort.

Sure, you get to the end of it all and maybe you’ve cobbled together some perfectly adequate for your AI agents to connect to a back-end system. But this type of tedious coding is not sustainable. And it’s absolutely not scalable.

Building MCP Tools With Gentoro

At its core, Gentoro is a protocol-native platform designed to bring the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to life. But its impact goes beyond protocol compliance. It’s about removing friction so developers can focus on what matters.

All tools built with Gentoro follow MCP’s standard structure, ensuring agent compatibility, cross-framework support, and easy orchestration. Gentoro offers multiple paths to create MCP Tools:

1. AI-Assisted Creation

Gentoro automates code generation, translating specifications into MCP Tool configurations and toolbox interactions, eliminating the need for developers to hard code functionality. Describe the tool you want in natural language and Gentoro’s AI translates that into functional, secure agentic tools. This is powered fully by LLMs. 

2. OpenAPI Spec to MCP Tool

Paste in any OpenAPI spec. Point to a URL. Gentoro ingests OpenAPI files, enhances the endpoints, and generates tools that are ready to use across any MCP-compatible agent. Authentication methods like OAuth, JWT, and API keys can be configured during this process. And all tools generated this way are instantly MCP-compliant. 

3. Prebuilt Tools and Templates

Gentoro includes pre-built tools for common use cases, which can be used directly or adapted to speed things up. For simple tasks, no coding is needed. 

4. AI Workbench for Iteration

When AI-generated tools need a tweak, the Gentoro Workbench makes it easy to guide refinement with human-in-the-loop feedback (no code review required). The workbench also supports continuous improvement based on real-world usage.

5. No-Code / Low-Code Friendly

Define tools in plain language. Configure parameters without scripting. Even non-devs can create and deploy tools with confidence.

Basically, with Gentoro, you’re going from jury-rigging together APIs to vibe-coding production-ready, fully usable MCP Tools. For the first time, developers can focus on what the agent needs to do, not (as we like to say) the plumbing.
