A Node.js CLI proxy that lets MCP clients which only support local stdio servers connect to remote MCP servers over HTTP/SSE, including OAuth authorization flows. It is dropped into the standard mcpServers config of clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf as a one-line npx command.
Use cases
- connect Claude Desktop to a remote MCP server
- use remote MCP servers in Cursor or Windsurf that only support stdio
- add OAuth-authenticated remote MCP servers to a stdio-only client
- pass custom authorization headers to a remote MCP server
- run multiple isolated OAuth sessions against the same remote MCP server
- bridge local MCP clients to SSE-based servers without native remote support
When to choose
- your MCP client only supports local stdio servers but you need a remote server
- you need OAuth flows for remote MCP servers that your client doesn't implement
- you want a quick npx-based bridge with no install step
When to avoid
- your MCP client already natively supports remote HTTP/SSE servers with auth
- you need a production-hardened solution rather than a proof-of-concept
- you only use local stdio MCP servers
