mcp-proxy lets you connect MCP clients (like Claude Desktop) to remote servers using different transport protocols. It can convert stdio to SSE/StreamableHTTP or vice versa, making it easy to use remote MCP servers with local tools.
mcp-proxy is a tool that bridges different MCP (Model Context Protocol) transports. It supports two modes: 1) stdio to SSE/StreamableHTTP: allows local MCP clients (e.g., Claude Desktop) to connect to remote MCP servers over SSE or StreamableHTTP. 2) SSE to stdio: allows remote SSE clients to connect to local stdio-based MCP servers. The proxy handles authentication via headers or OAuth2, supports custom headers, and can be configured via command-line arguments or a config file. It is available as a Python package (PyPI), Docker image, or from source. The project is actively maintained with 2576 stars and 242 forks.

The setup section provides repository-level starting guidance, not a guarantee of an independently verified installation. Check the official README and release notes.
Exposing a proxy to the network may introduce security risks if not properly configured OAuth2 credentials and custom headers are passed in plain text; use HTTPS in production
