What is mcp-server-server?
This is a wrapper program that converts a stdio-based MCP server into a websocket-based MCP server, allowing for easier programmatic interaction.
How to use mcp-server-server?
- Convert a stdio MCP server to a websocket MCP server using the provided wrapper program. 2. Interact with the MCP server programmatically using a websocket client. The README provides code examples for both steps.

Why use this instead of stdio?
Why use this instead of stdio?
Stdio requires each MCP client to be a process manager, which is cumbersome and creates infrastructure problems when managing multiple user configurations.
