smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go
MCPProxy is a Go proxy that sits between an MCP client and any number of upstream MCP servers, exposing them through a single endpoint. Instead of loading every upstream tool schema into the model context, the proxy publishes a retrieve_tools function that the agent calls to search for the tools it needs, which the project presents as a way to stay under client tool limits such as the 40-tool cap in Cursor and the 128-function cap in OpenAI clients, and to cut the tokens spent on schemas. Security is a second focus: newly added servers land in quarantine and stay blocked until a human approves them, which is aimed at tool poisoning attacks. Quarantined servers can be run through pluggable Docker-based scanners such as Snyk, Semgrep, Trivy and Cisco, whose findings are normalized to SARIF and combined into a composite risk score. The core ships as one binary for macOS, Linux and Windows on x64 and ARM64, with the web UI for the server dashboard, tool discovery, activity log and quarantine embedded in the binary, so no extra service is required. On macOS an optional menu-bar app adds start and stop control, server health, quarantine review and log access. Installation is available through DMG and Windows installers, Homebrew cask and formula, signed apt and dnf repositories that ship a hardened systemd unit, the AUR, plain tarballs for air-gapped installs, and go install. Servers are declared in a JSON config file at ~/.mcpproxy/mcp_config.json, and mcpproxy serve starts the HTTP listener on port 8080. It suits developers running large fleets of MCP servers who want one controlled, auditable entry point.
