Notes from the workshop
What's new in mcp-bridge, and what to do with it.
v0.1.0 — 2026-04-19 — first release
First release of mcp-bridge — a single ~5.5 MB Go binary that bridges stdio-based MCP clients (Claude Desktop) to remote HTTP MCP servers. No Node or Python runtime — drop the binary on PATH and go. Also a useful local proxy for Claude Code, which has known issues with HTTP auth headers and connection timeouts.
One command does the setup: mcp-bridge setup --name <server> --url <endpoint> --key <api-key> configures both Claude Desktop (stdio bridge) and Claude Code (direct HTTP). mcp-bridge config list and mcp-bridge config remove round out the management surface. Ported from the earlier mcp-bridge-go — same bridge, now on plankit conventions with its own release cadence.
