Converts MCP protocol's SSE transport layer to a standard HTTP request/response.
Overview
The mcp-server-proxy is a tool that converts the MCP protocol's SSE transport layer into a standard HTTP request/response, simplifying the development and usage of MCP Servers.
To use mcp-server-proxy, install it via Go, and then use the provided commands to inspect requests or serve as a proxy between MCP Clients and standard HTTP endpoints.
- Converts MCP protocol's SSE transport to standard HTTP requests/responses. - Provides request and response inspection functionality for studying MCP Client and Server interactions. - Supports methods like
initialize,tools/list, andtools/call.
- Simplifying the integration of MCP Clients with existing HTTP services.
- Facilitating the development of applications that utilize the MCP protocol without needing to handle SSE details.
- Debugging and inspecting the interactions between MCP Clients and Servers.
