Remote-MCP

Overview

Remote-MCP provides a bidirectional, type-safe solution for remote MCP communication, allowing users to connect to remote MCP servers from local clients. The project consists of two packages: a client library that acts as a local MCP server connecting to a remote implementation, and a server library for creating remotely accessible MCP services. It addresses the immediate need for remote MCP access before the official implementation in 2025.
