Broker MCP Server

mcp-broker is a local Model Context Protocol process broker for MCP clients. Think PgBouncer for MCP: one stable local endpoint in front of many upstream MCP servers. The broker owns upstream startup, reuse, cleanup, profile exposure, status, and safe tool routing.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Broker

Claude Code

claude mcp add navinagrawal-mcp-broker -- uvx mcp-broker

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "navinagrawal-mcp-broker": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-broker"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
