About MCP Proxy
MCP Proxy facilitates two primary modes of operation:
- Stdio to SSE: Acts as a bridge for clients that communicate over stdio (e.g., Claude Desktop) to connect with remote MCP servers using SSE transport. This mode allows clients to interact with SSE-based servers without native SSE support.
- SSE to Stdio: Exposes a local stdio MCP server as an SSE server, enabling remote clients to connect via SSE. In this mode, MCP Proxy listens for SSE requests, spawns the local stdio server, and manages the communication between them.
These capabilities enhance the flexibility and interoperability of AI assistants and MCP servers across different transport protocols.
