@james-pplx - can we please get this merged; very useful to have a web proxy

@kesku Any chance we could get this merged? Currently at work, I cannot use it due to the corporate proxy

Hey @gurvancampion — unfortunately this PR is quite a bit out of date now. The MCP has gone through multiple updates since it was opened, and the web proxy implementation here conflicts with several newer changes. We’d need a fresh implementation based on the current codebase to move this forward.

One other consideration is that we’re planning to migrate to an HTTP-based transport layer soon, which may break or complicate the current STDIO-based setup — so adding a proxy right now could introduce additional issues into the codebase.

Regardless, I'll look into getting something like this merged soon.

Thanks for the quick answer. Let me know if I can help. I could push a new MR based on the existing codebase, or wait till you have migrated to re-check at that time

I'll look at it.

Just an update here

I’ve implemented proxy support in #66, which is now merged into main.

This is a temporary solution since as stated previously we'll be migrating to streamable HTTP transport soon. Shouldn’t affect end users in the meantime!

Thanks again @ojacques and @gurvancampion for flagging this!
