MCP HTTP Streamable Proxy

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Use HTTP streamable or SSE transport with Claude desktop.

• 2

  That require a local proxy to bridge stdio-only clients to HTTP streamable MCP servers.

• 3

  Avoid upgrading to Claude's paid plans for remote MCP integration.

Description

This MCP server acts as a local proxy or bridge to support HTTP streamable and server-sent events (SSE) transport, which Claude desktop does not natively support as it only supports stdio transport. It provides a proof of concept using the mcp-remote package to enable communication with Claude via HTTP streaming. This solution is useful unless users upgrade to Claude's paid plans that natively support remote MCP integrations.
