# MCP-Hive Proxy
This is the MCP-Hive Proxy. It can be loaded by any agentic host in order to access MCP-Hive and is a gateway to other MCP servers. To obtain credentials, and read further documentation, go to [mcp-hive.com](https://mcp-hive.com)
## Running
The proxy can run in two modes:
### Server Mode (Single MCP)
Proxy a specific MCP server to your MCP client:
```bash
node src/proxy/mcpHiveProxy.ts --server <server-name> --local --credentials <credentials>
```
### Gateway Mode (All MCPs)
Expose all available MCP servers through a single proxy with namespaced tools:
```bash
node src/proxy/mcpHiveProxy.ts --gateway --local --credentials <credentials>
```
In gateway mode:
- Discovery tools are available: `discoverServers`, `listTools`, `listResources`, `listPrompts`
- All server tools are namespaced: `serverName___toolName` (e.g., `validator___echo`, `accuweather___getWeather`)
