What it does

Cardea CLI acts as a versatile proxy for the Model Context Protocol, enabling the bridging of different transport layers. It can expose a remote SSE server as a local stdio server (allowing local clients like Claude Desktop to connect to remote tools) or expose a local stdio server as an SSE endpoint for remote access.

Tools

SSE Client Mode: Connects to a remote SSE server and exposes it via stdio.
Stdio Client Mode: Connects to a local command and exposes it as an SSE server.
Proxy Mode: Forwards events between two remote SSE servers.

Installation

To run Cardea as a proxy for another server in claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cardea-proxy": {
      "command": "cardea",
      "args": ["run", "-p", "remote_sse_server_host:port/sse"]
    }
  }
}

Supported hosts

Confirmed for Claude Desktop and Cursor via stdio bridging.
