A bridge between Streamable HTTP and stdio MCP transports
mcp-proxy is a Python transport adapter for the Model Context Protocol that converts between stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP communication channels. It operates in two directions: it can wrap a stdio-based MCP client like Claude Desktop so it connects outward to a remote SSE or Streamable HTTP server, and it can expose a local stdio MCP server as an SSE endpoint accessible to remote LLM clients. Configuration for Claude Desktop requires only a JSON entry pointing mcp-proxy at the remote SSE URL, with optional Bearer token authentication via the API_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable or OAuth2 credentials via --client-id, --client-secret, and --token-url flags. The tool also supports named server configurations and can be deployed as a Docker container with Docker Compose. Developers running stdio-only MCP servers who need to expose them over a network, and Claude Desktop users who need to reach remote HTTP-based MCP servers that the client cannot natively address, are the primary beneficiaries. The project is installable via PyPI and has surpassed 2,500 GitHub stars.
