A bridge between Streamable HTTP and stdio MCP transports

mcp-proxy is a versatile tool designed to switch between various server transport protocols, primarily facilitating communication between stdio and SSE/Streamable HTTP. It operates in two main modes: proxying stdio to a remote SSE server, or exposing a local stdio server via an SSE endpoint.
