Source

A declarative, composable model context protocol server that uses a remote config

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

The mcp-remote-server is a configurable Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that dynamically loads its capabilities from a remote configuration, acting as a bridge between MCP clients and remote APIs.

To use the mcp-remote-server, set your control plane URL to point to your remote configuration and run the server using the command: bun run index.ts.

  • Dynamic configuration loaded from a remote JSON file. - Auto-refreshing configuration every 60 seconds. - Supports all MCP primitives including tools, resources, and prompts.
  1. Integrating various remote APIs into a local server environment.
  2. Creating reusable prompt templates for consistent API interactions.
  3. Exposing remote data as readable resources for local applications.

Use these steps to connect mcp-remote-server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-remote-server-sirmews": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-remote-server-sirmews"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-remote-server-sirmews": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-remote-server-sirmews"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-remote-server-sirmews": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-remote-server-sirmews"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-remote-server-sirmews": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-remote-server-sirmews"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-remote-server-sirmews": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-remote-server-sirmews"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-remote-server-sirmews": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-remote-server-sirmews"
      ]
    }
  }
}

FAQ

What is the purpose of the MCP_CONTROL_PLANE_URL?

It specifies the endpoint for the remote configuration that defines the server's capabilities.

What are the limitations of the mcp-remote-server?

It only supports HTTP/HTTPS handler endpoints and requires configuration to be accessible via HTTP GET requests.7:["$","div",null,{"className":"container mx-auto flex flex-col gap-4","children":["$L26","$L27",["$","$L28",null,{"currentProject":{"id":996,"uuid":"19da499a-f620-4cf8-a5bc-ec609362a94b","name":"mcp-remote-server","title":"mcp-remote-server","description":"A declarative, composable model context protocol server that uses a remote config","avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7651718?v=4","created_at":"2025-01-28T02:22:31.072Z","updated_at":"2025-02-23T07:13:16.935Z","status":"created","author_name":"sirmews","author_avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7651718?v=4","tags":"mcp-remote-server,model-context-protocol,remote-config","category":"developer-tools","is_featured":false,"sort":1,"url":"https://github.com/sirmews/mcp-remote-server","target":"_self","content":"$29","summary":"$2a","img_url":null,"type":null,"metadata":null,"user_uuid":null,"tools":null,"sse_url":null,"sse_provider":null,"sse_params":null,"is_official":false,"server_command":null,"server_params":null,"server_config":null,"allow_call":false,"is_innovation":false,"is_dxt":false,"dxt_manifest":null,"dxt_file_url":null,"is_audit":false},"randomProjects":[],"currentServerKey":"$undefined"}]]}]
