mcp-x

The mcp-x server is a single-file multi-client gateway designed to facilitate the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for developers. By enabling per-tool access control, this server provides a secure and efficient way to manage multiple client connections while ensuring that each tool's access is finely controlled. Developers can leverage mcp-x to streamline their workflows and enhance collaboration across various tools.

Once connected to the mcp-x server, you can interact with it by sending queries that are specific to the tools you have access to. Although no specific tools are documented at this time, you can expect to utilize commands that align with the capabilities of the tools you configure. It's best to familiarize yourself with the command structure laid out in the documentation of each tool to maximize the server's potential.

To install mcp-x, ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine, as it is a prerequisite for running the server. You can quickly start using mcp-x with the following command via npx:

npx -y camelop/mcp-x

Alternatively, if you prefer a global install, you can clone the repository directly from GitHub and run the server manually:

git clone https://github.com/camelop/mcp-x.git
cd mcp-x
node server.js

When configuring mcp-x, keep in mind that you may need to set environment variables to define specific access controls for each tool. Pay special attention to the security settings, as these will determine how clients can interact with the server. A common gotcha is forgetting to open the necessary ports in your firewall, which can prevent clients from connecting properly.
