What is mcp-server-server?
The mcp-server-server is a proof-of-concept tool that converts standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which typically use stdio for communication, into WebSocket servers. This transformation enables easier and more flexible programmatic interaction.
How to use mcp-server-server?
To use it, you set up your existing MCP server with the provided wrapper. Communication then occurs over a WebSocket connection instead of through standard input and output (stdio).
What are its key features?
It converts stdio-based MCP servers to WebSocket servers. The tool manages the communication layer, removing the need for direct process management. This provides simplified programmatic access to MCP server functionalities.
What are common use cases?
Use cases include streamlining client-server interactions in applications, reducing the complexity of managing multiple MCP processes for different users, and enabling scalable integrations for developers working with various MCP servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What benefits does it provide over traditional MCP servers? It simplifies process management and enables direct network communication, which reduces overhead and system complexity.
Is it possible to use any MCP server with this tool? Yes, any MCP server can be used as long as it can be wrapped using the provided WebSocket conversion method.
Are there any specific configurations required? Minimal setup is needed. The main configuration involves exposing the MCP server via WebSockets using the provided wrapper.
