It operates in two modes: forwarding stdio connections from local clients (like Claude Desktop) to remote MCP servers over SSE or Streamable HTTP, or exposing local stdio-based MCP servers as remote SSE endpoints. This is useful when a client natively supports only stdio but needs to reach a remote server, or when a local server needs to be accessible over HTTP.\n\nThe tool is built on httpx-auth, mcp, and uvicorn, and is designed to be configured either as a command-line invocation or through configuration files. It supports optional authentication via API tokens or OAuth2, custom headers, CORS policies, and environment variable injection for spawned servers. The package is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.10\u20133.14), and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. mcp-proxy solves a real transport compatibility problem for MCP ecosystems with low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. Install it if you need to bridge stdio and HTTP-based MCP communication or expose local servers remotely."},"id":"mcp-proxy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mcp-proxy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mcp-proxy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mcp-proxy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mcp-proxy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A MCP server which proxies requests to a remote MCP server over streamable HTTP or SSE."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1619879,"position":3712,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.12.0"}
