Connect Remote MCP Proxy to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Existing MCP servers often run only on your desktop, making them impossible to use with Claude's web UI or phone app. The Remote MCP protocol solves this, but not every server supports it yet. This proxy fills that gap so you can. The remote mcp proxy mcp server is what makes that connection.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Build — go build -o remote-mcp-proxyRun — ./remote-mcp-proxyTest — go test ./..Lint — go fmt ./... and go vet ./..Dependencies — go mod tidyPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverTroubleshooting — The Troubleshooting tool exposed by this serverTesting — The Remote MCP Proxy includes comprehensive tests to ensure reliability and correctnessConfiguration is passed through the environment: NOTION_TOKEN, ENV_VAR, CF_API_KEY, CONFIG_PATH. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Remote MCP Proxy's toolset — Build, Run, Test and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by pezzos; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
