About Remote MCP
Remote-MCP is a type-safe, bidirectional, and simple solution for remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) communication. It enables remote access and centralized management of model contexts, bridging the gap until official remote MCP support becomes available. The library uses tRPC over HTTP for communication between a local MCP client and a remote MCP server, allowing developers to connect to remote MCP servers from local MCP clients without waiting for future official implementations. It is open-source and currently in active development.

FAQ
Why was Remote-MCP created?
The official MCP roadmap includes remote support in the first quarter of 2025, but the need for remote access was immediate. This library bridges that gap by providing remote MCP communication right now.
Is Remote-MCP stable for production use?
No, the project is currently under active development and is considered experimental. Expect breaking changes and potential issues.
How does Remote-MCP work?
It uses a local MCP client (@remote-mcp/client) that communicates with a remote MCP server (@remote-mcp/server) via tRPC over HTTP, enabling remote access to MCP resources.
