Mcp Remote FAQs

Question 1

How do I configure MCP Remote with my MCP client?

Accepted Answer

Configuration involves modifying the MCP client's configuration file (e.g., `claude_desktop_config.json` for Claude Desktop, `~/.cursor/mcp.json` for Cursor, and `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` for Windsurf) to include a 'command' server that invokes `mcp-remote` with the remote server URL and any necessary flags.

Question 2

Which transport strategies does MCP Remote support?

Accepted Answer

MCP Remote supports different transport strategies, including SSE (Server-Sent Events) and HTTP. You can configure the order in which these strategies are attempted using the `--transport` flag, choosing from `http-first`, `sse-first`, `http-only`, or `sse-only`.

Question 3

How can I troubleshoot issues with MCP Remote?

Accepted Answer

Common troubleshooting steps include clearing your `~/.mcp-auth` directory to reset authentication, checking your Node version (must be 18 or higher), restarting your MCP client, and examining the logs for detailed error messages.  You can also use `mcp-remote-client` to test connectivity directly.

Question 4

Why would I use MCP Remote?

Accepted Answer

If you're using an MCP client like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf that only supports local servers, MCP Remote lets you connect to remote MCP servers that require authentication or offer other benefits like centralized updates and bug fixes.

Question 5

What is MCP Remote?

Accepted Answer

MCP Remote is a tool that connects MCP (Model Context Protocol) clients that only support local (stdio) servers to a remote MCP server. This enables authentication support and allows you to leverage remote MCP server capabilities with existing clients.
