What is mcp-server-server?
mcp-server-server is a wrapper program that converts a stdio-based MCP server into a websocket-based MCP server. This allows MCP clients to interact with MCP servers over the network, simplifying process management and improving performance.
How to use mcp-server-server?
- Convert a stdio MCP server to a websocket MCP server using the
mcp-server-wrapperscript. 2. Interact with the MCP server programmatically using a websocket client. 3. Optionally, build the MCP server and wrapper into a Docker image for easy deployment.
