A Python CLI tool that bridges MCP (Model Context Protocol) transports, converting between stdio and SSE/Streamable HTTP. It lets MCP clients like Claude Desktop talk to remote MCP servers whose transport they don't natively support, and vice versa.

Use cases

connect Claude Desktop to a remote MCP server over SSE
expose a local stdio MCP server over HTTP
proxy MCP requests to a remote server with custom auth headers
bridge streamable HTTP MCP servers to stdio-only clients
run MCP servers in Docker and connect them to desktop clients

When to choose

you need to connect an MCP client and server that use incompatible transports
you want to add authentication headers when reaching a remote MCP server
you need a lightweight, MIT-licensed, pip- or Docker-installable MCP bridge

When to avoid

you need a general-purpose HTTP reverse proxy, not an MCP-specific one
your client and server already share a compatible MCP transport
you need a GUI-managed MCP gateway with multi-tenant features
