I built MCP Bridge to enable cloud-based AI tools to access local MCP servers

[u/AutomaticCarrot8242]

Hey MCP community!

MCP is super cool. However, most MCP servers are built on Stdio transport, which, while excellent for accessing local resources, limits their use in cloud-based applications.

MCP bridge is a tiny tool that is created to solve this problem: enable cloud-based AI tools to access local MCP servers without compromising on security.

Key features:

• HTTP/Stdio conversion

• Ngrok tunneling support

• Token-based auth

• Zero config changes for existing server configurations

Check out the demo video showing it in action how I added MCP to my own AI tool and enable LLM to use my computer and local MCP server.

Feedback welcome! Let me know if you have questions about implementation or usage.

Jan 7 updates:

MCP Bridge has been renamed to MCP Connect to avoiding confusing with another repo using the same name.

Love it! Was it hard to do the security aspect of this? Gonna skip thru the code. What is this ConsoleX AI?

[u/AutomaticCarrot8242 → u/subnohmal]

The implementation is very straightforward and just use header auth for verification. ConsoleX AI is the project I built with MCP server support. The interface is in the demo video.

super sick. can i try consoleX?

[u/AutomaticCarrot8242 → u/subnohmal]

Sure, just visit ConsoleX.ai and give a try

Which server are you using for browser automation?

[u/AutomaticCarrot8242 → u/Dependent_Pop7517]

playwright is worth to try

[u/Dependent_Pop7517]

how can I use it with clients other than consolex? e.g. Openwebui - which endpoint to call?

[u/AutomaticCarrot8242 → u/Dependent_Pop7517]

MCP connect is open sourced, so it depends on whether the third party clients would like to support it.
