Basic information

About MCP Tools

A proxy server and tools manager for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that facilitates communication between LLM applications and remote MCP-compatible services.

This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.

We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.

Overview

What is MCP Tools?

MCP Tools provides two components for working with the Model Context Protocol: a proxy that forwards stdin data to an HTTP endpoint and returns responses, and a server that loads MCP executables from a directory and exposes their tools to clients via HTTP or stdio with namespaced names.

How to use MCP Tools?

Build all components with make, then run the server (make run-server for HTTP mode, make run-server-stdio for stdio mode). Run the proxy with make run-proxy or directly via ./mcp-proxy -endpoint="https://example.com/mcp". The server scans a directory (default ./mcps) for MCP executables and automatically discovers their tools.

Key features of MCP Tools

Proxy forwards MCP requests from stdin to a remote HTTP endpoint
Server loads and manages MCP executables from a directory
Automatic tool discovery and namespace-based naming (mcpname.toolname)
Supports both HTTP and stdio transport modes
Compiled as a single Go executable for easy deployment
Includes example MCPs (hello-mcp, calculator-mcp) for testing

Use cases of MCP Tools

Proxy MCP communication from stdin to a remote HTTP server
Aggregate tools from multiple local MCP executables into one HTTP or stdio server
Develop and test MCP-compatible tools using the provided examples
Deploy a lightweight MCP server without requiring a language runtime

Frequently asked questions

What is the advantage of using Go for MCP Tools?

Go compiles to a single executable file, eliminating runtime and library dependencies, reducing deployment difficulties and breaking updates.

What transport modes does the server support?

The server can run in HTTP mode (default on port 8080) or stdio mode (using the `-stdio` flag).

How are tools from different MCPs organized?

The server namespaces tools by adding the MCP executable name as a prefix, e.g., `mcpname.toolname`.

What is the default endpoint for the proxy?

The proxy defaults to `http://localhost:8080` and expects a JSON content type, with configurable timeout and buffer size.

How do I test the proxy with example tools?

After starting the server, run `make test-proxy` for a basic tools/list request, or `make test-hello` and `make test-add` to test specific tools.
