MCP Connect is an HTTP gateway that exposes local Model Context Protocol servers (communicating via stdio) as HTTP APIs through two modes: a classic request/response bridge and a Streamable HTTP interface with Server-Sent Events. The server provides session management for conversational continuity, bearer token authentication, CORS allowlist security, and optional Ngrok tunneling for external access, enabling remote cloud AI tools to interact with local MCP servers. It solves the problem of connecting stdio-based MCP servers to remote HTTP clients that cannot directly communicate via stdio.
