- 02Routes requests to backend servers
- 03Supports multiple transport mechanisms
Use cases
- 01Route client requests to backend MCP servers
- 02Place an intermediary between clients and servers
MCP support
Acts as an intermediary between MCP clients and backend MCP servers, routing requests across supported transport mechanisms.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.

Details
From the project READMEmcp-proxy
The MCP Proxy is a middleware service that facilitates communication between client applications and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It acts as an intermediary layer that supports multiple transport mechanisms and routes client requests to appropriate backend MCP servers. This document provides a high-level overview of the MCP Proxy system architecture, components, and functionality.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
