MCP proxy
View SourceTidewave implements the SSE version of MCP protocol. Some tools may only support the IO protocol but we provide a proxy that also handles automatic reconnects when your restart your dev server. Therefore, we also recommend the proxy in cases where a native SSE implementation is available, but doesn't handle reconnecting properly.
Rust-based proxy
Provides a single binary executable. See the installation instructions on GitHub.
Once installation concludes, take note of the full path
the mcp-proxy
was installed at. It will be necessary
in most scenarios in order to use Tidewave. Note on Windows
the executable will also have the .exe
extension.
Python-based proxy
An alternative MCP Proxy if the Rust version is not working as expected. Requires Python tooling on your machine. See the installation instructions on GitHub.
