MCP-Hive Proxy

This is the MCP-Hive Proxy. It can be loaded by any agentic host in order to access MCP-Hive and is a gateway to other MCP servers. To obtain credentials, and read further documentation, go to mcp-hive.com

Running

The proxy can run in two modes:

Server Mode (Single MCP)

Proxy a specific MCP server to your MCP client:

node src/proxy/mcpHiveProxy.ts --server <server-name> --local --credentials <credentials>

Gateway Mode (All MCPs)

Expose all available MCP servers through a single proxy with namespaced tools:

node src/proxy/mcpHiveProxy.ts --gateway --local --credentials <credentials>

In gateway mode:

Discovery tools are available: discoverServers, listTools, listResources, listPrompts
All server tools are namespaced: serverName___toolName (e.g., validator___echo, accuweather___getWeather)
