What is mcp-proxy?
mcp-proxy is a tool for switching between MCP server transports, bridging Streamable HTTP or SSE and stdio.
In one mode it runs a stdio proxy that connects to a remote SSE server, so clients like Claude Desktop can talk to remote servers even where that transport is not supported natively; another mode exposes a local stdio server over the network.
