MCP Proxy
The mcp-proxy is a versatile tool designed to facilitate communication between clients and servers that utilize the MCP protocol over SSE (Server-Sent Events). It provides two primary modes of operation, enabling flexibility in server interactions:
Key Features:
- Stdio to SSE: Run a proxy server that connects to a remote SSE server, allowing clients that do not natively support SSE to interact with external MCP servers.
- SSE to Stdio: Expose a local stdio server as an SSE server, enabling remote clients to connect seamlessly.
- Configuration Options: Users can configure various parameters such as host and port settings, and employ environment variables for enhanced customization.
- Easy Installation: Installable via multiple methods including Smithery, PyPI, or as a Docker container.
- Troubleshooting and Support: Detailed troubleshooting section to assist users in resolving common issues, along with options for extending the container image.
Benefits:
- Increased Compatibility: Allows different clients and servers to communicate effectively, bridging gaps in protocol support.
- Flexibility: Users can switch between different modes easily, supporting various server configurations and setups.
- Open Source: Being an open-source project, users can contribute to its development and customize it according to their needs.
Overall, mcp-proxy is an essential tool for developers and users working with MCP servers, enhancing interoperability and ease of use in server-client communications.
