sparfenyuk/mcp-proxy
The mcp-proxy project is a proxy server tool designed to facilitate communication between Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers by bridging different transport protocols, specifically stdio and Server-Sent Events (SSE) or Streamable HTTP. This tool enhances interoperability within the MCP ecosystem by enabling clients and servers that use different communication protocols to interact seamlessly. The project supports two primary modes of operation: stdio to SSE/StreamableHTTP and SSE to stdio. In the stdio to SSE mode, mcp-proxy acts as a proxy server that connects a client using stdio (such as Claude Desktop) to a remote MCP server that communicates over SSE or Streamable HTTP. This allows clients that do not natively support SSE to communicate with MCP servers that use this protocol. Configuration involves specifying the MCP server's SSE endpoint URL and optionally setting headers and transport protocol preferences. In the SSE to stdio mode, mcp-proxy exposes an SSE server that connects to a local stdio server. This setup allows remote clients to connect to a local MCP server that uses stdio by translating SSE requests to stdio commands. The proxy listens on a specified port and can be configured with various options such as host IP, environment variables, working directory, CORS settings, and named servers. The project provides detailed configuration options, example usage scenarios, and supports installation via multiple methods including PyPI, GitHub, and containerized environments. It also includes features for extending container images and setting up with Docker Compose. The tool is particularly useful for developers and users within the MCP ecosystem who need to bridge communication between different MCP servers or clients using incompatible transport protocols. Overall, mcp-proxy is a specialized utility that addresses the challenge of protocol interoperability in the MCP environment, enabling smoother integration and communication between diverse MCP components.
