MCP Tools
by michaelnugent
This repository provides tools for working with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), including a proxy and a server. The MCP proxy forwards data to an HTTP endpoint, while the MCP server manages MCP executables and exposes them via HTTP or stdio.

What is MCP Tools?
MCP Tools is a collection of utilities for interacting with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It includes an MCP proxy that forwards requests to an HTTP endpoint and an MCP server that loads and manages MCP executables.
How to use MCP Tools?
To use the MCP proxy, run the mcp-proxy executable with the desired options, such as the endpoint and content type. To use the MCP server, run the mcp-server executable, specifying the directory containing the MCP executables and the desired mode (HTTP or stdio). The Makefile provides convenient commands for building, running, and testing the components.
Key features of MCP Tools
