Dense-Mem MCP Proxy

dense-mem-mcp-proxy exposes a Dense-Mem Streamable HTTP MCP server as a local stdio MCP process. Use it for MCP clients that can run local stdio commands but do not reliably load Streamable HTTP MCP servers.

Once the package is published to npm, use:

npx -y dense-mem-mcp-proxy

Until then, run the proxy from a local checkout:

node /path/to/dense-mem/packages/mcp-proxy/bin/dense-mem-mcp-proxy.js

Header arguments are the most portable desktop-client configuration:

node /path/to/dense-mem/packages/mcp-proxy/bin/dense-mem-mcp-proxy.js \
  --url http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer dm_live_..."

Environment variables are also supported:

DENSE_MEM_MCP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp \
DENSE_MEM_API_KEY=dm_live_... \
node /path/to/dense-mem/packages/mcp-proxy/bin/dense-mem-mcp-proxy.js

Extra headers can be passed with repeated --header "Name: value" flags or with DENSE_MEM_MCP_HEADERS as a JSON object.

The proxy writes MCP JSON-RPC frames to stdout. Diagnostic logs go to stderr and redact Authorization headers and Dense-Mem API keys.
