The bridge for remote MCP — seamless OAuth, resilient auth recovery, production-grade reliability
Abluva-maintained fork of mcp-remote — a stdio proxy that connects MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) to remote MCP servers with OAuth.
Use this package when upstream mcp-remote hangs on auth, drops mid-session re-login, or refuses OAuth callbacks on localhost.
------ npm @abluva/mcp-remote GitHub abluva-research/mcp-remote Upstream base geelen/mcp-remote v0.1.38 Also incorporates jacopoc PR 213 (mid-session re-auth — still open upstream)
📄 Full fork changelog, upstream issue/PR mapping, and version history: ABLUVA-FORK.md
Upstream mcp-remote is the de facto OAuth bridge for stdio-only MCP clients. Several critical OAuth bugs remain open on geelen/mcp-remote — especially mid-session token expiry, Claude Desktop hangs, and localhost callback connection refused.
- jacopoc’s unmerged re-auth branch (PR 213) - Selected open upstream PRs (297, 290, 302, 262 partial) - Abluva production fixes for MCP gateway OAuth (callback server lifetime, auto ports, Hub logout re-auth)
- -y — required for Claude (non-interactive npx install). - Callback port — optional third argument; omitted by default (auto-selected per server URL since v0.1.40). - After first install or upgrade: rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth then restart Claude (Cmd+Q).
