Simple bridge between IRC, XMPP, Gitter, Mattermost, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Rocket.Chat, Hipchat(via xmpp), Matrix, Steam, ssh-chat and Zulip
Has a REST API.   
Minecraft server chat support via [MatterLink](https://github.com/elytra/MatterLink)

**Mattermost isn't required to run matterbridge. It bridges between any supported protocol.**   
(The name matterbridge is a remnant when it was only bridging mattermost)
