communication

mcprouter is a proxy for remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, allowing easy configuration and communication with MCP clients. It supports integration with tools such as Claude Desktop and provides development and debugging utilities.

mcprouter MCP Server

proxy for remote mcp servers.

Quick Start

  1. Get Remote MCP Server Key

go to MCP.so, select a hosting server,

click Connect to generate your exclusive server_key.

  1. Configure MCP Server in any MCP Client

take Claude Desktop for example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fetch": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcprouter"],
      "env": {
        "SERVER_KEY": "xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcprouter": {
      "command": "/path/to/mcprouter/build/index.js"
    }
  }
}

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
