### Description (declared)

# Easy MCP Proxy

An MCP proxy server that aggregates tools from multiple upstream MCP servers and exposes them through **tool views** — filtered, transformed, and composed subsets of tools.

> **Status**: Experimental

📖 **[Full Documentation](docs/index.md)** | 🚀 **[Tutorial](docs/tutorial.md)** | 📚 **[Reference](docs/reference.md)**

## Quick Start

### 1. Install

```bash
uv pip install -e .
```

### 2. Create a config file

```yaml
# config.yaml
mcp_servers:
  filesystem:
    command: npx
    args: [-y, "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", /home/user/documents]

tool_views:
  default:
    tools:
      filesystem:
        read_file: {}
        list_directory: {}
```

### 3. Run the proxy

```bash
# For Claude Desktop (stdio)
mcp-proxy serve --config config.yaml

# For HTTP clients
mcp-proxy serve --config config.yaml --transport http --port 8000
```

### 4. Use with Claude Desktop

**Local (stdio)** — runs the proxy as a subprocess:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "proxy": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "mcp-proxy", "serve", "--config", "/path/to/config.yaml"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Remote (HTTP)** — connect to a proxy running on a server:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "proxy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://your-proxy-server.example.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-auth-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

This requires [authentication](docs/reference.md#authentication) to be configured on the proxy. See `mcp-proxy serve --help` for auth options.

## Example Use Cases

### Reduce Tool Count with Search Mode

Too many tools overwhelming your LLM? Expose hundreds of tools through just two meta-tools:

```yaml
tool_views:
  everything:
    exposure_mode: search
    include_all: true
```

This creates `everything_search_tools` (find tools by description) and `everything_call_tool` (call by name). The LLM searches first, then calls—no need to list every tool.
