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 after installing the necessary dependencies with bun install.
- Dynamic configuration loaded from a remote JSON file. - Auto-refreshing configuration every 60 seconds. - Supports all MCP primitives including tools, resources, and prompts.
- Integrating various remote APIs into a local server environment.
- Creating reusable prompt templates for consistent API interactions.
- 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": {
"sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror"
]
}
}
}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": {
"sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror": {

"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror"
]
}
}
}Windsurf
Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-sirmews-mcp-remote-server-mcp-mirror"
]
}
}

}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 the 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":982,"uuid":"6565d42f-a332-48dd-9206-bc59c99d6b1d","name":"sirmews_mcp-remote-server","title":"mcp-remote-server","description":"Mirror of","avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/192820360?v=4","created_at":"2025-01-28T02:21:59.179Z","updated_at":"2025-02-23T07:18:50.669Z","status":"created","author_name":"MCP-Mirror","author_avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/192820360?v=4","tags":"mcp-remote-server,api-bridge,configuration-server","category":"developer-tools","is_featured":false,"sort":1,"url":"https://github.com/MCP-Mirror/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"}]]}]
