star history
MCP-remote connects MCP clients that only support local stdio transport to remote MCP servers using HTTP+SSE. It addresses the gap where most popular MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor and Windsurf still only support stdio, while remote servers with OAuth authorization have become available. Users configure it as a simple npx wrapper in their client config files, allowing AI coding assistants to access remote MCP capabilities that would otherwise be unavailable.
