mcp-proxy-sigv4 0.1.0

MCP proxy server with AWS SigV4 authentication support

MCP Proxy SigV4

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) proxy server with AWS SigV4 and OAuth JWT authentication support, allowing you to connect to remote MCP servers.

Example MCP configuration

Add to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-sigv4-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-proxy-sigv4",
        "--endpoint",
        "https://sigv4-mcp.example.com/mcp",
        "--aws-service",
        "bedrock-agentcore",
        "--aws-region",
        "us-east-1"
      ]
    },
    "oauth-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-proxy-sigv4",
        "--endpoint",
        "https://oauth-mcp.example.com/mcp",
        "--bearer-token",
        "your-token-here"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Architecture

MCP Client (e.g., Claude Desktop)
            ↓ (stdio)
    mcp-proxy-sigv4 (Local Proxy)
            ↓ (HTTPS + SigV4 / OAuth)
    Remote MCP Server (Bedrock AgentCore, Lambda, etc.)

Installation

Using uvx (Recommended)

uvx mcp-proxy-sigv4 --endpoint https://api.example.com/mcp

Using pip

pip install mcp-proxy-sigv4
mcp-proxy-sigv4 --endpoint https://api.example.com/mcp

Development Installation

# Create venv and install dependencies
git clone https://github.com/jiapingzeng/mcp-proxy-sigv4
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv sync

# Run proxy
cd src
uv run python -m src.mcp_proxy_sigv4 --help

Usage

Basic Usage

Connect to a remote MCP server with default AWS SigV4 authentication (using Bedrock AgentCore as an example):

uvx mcp-proxy-sigv4 \\
    --endpoint https://api.example.com/mcp \\
    --aws-region us-east-1 \\
    --aws-service bedrock-agentcore

OAuth JWT Bearer Token Authentication

Connect using a JWT bearer token via CLI option:

uvx mcp-proxy-sigv4 \\
    --endpoint https://api.example.com/mcp \\
    --bearer-token "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."

Or use the BEARER_TOKEN environment variable:

export BEARER_TOKEN="eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
uvx mcp-proxy-sigv4 --endpoint https://api.example.com/mcp

Without Authentication

For testing with servers that don't require authentication:

uvx mcp-proxy-sigv4 \\
    --endpoint http://localhost:8000/mcp \\
    --no-auth

Verbose Logging

Enable detailed logging for debugging:

uvx mcp-proxy-sigv4 \\
    --endpoint https://api.example.com/mcp \\
    --verbose

Command Line Options

• --endpoint (required): Remote MCP server endpoint URL
• --bearer-token: OAuth JWT bearer token for authentication (alternative to AWS SigV4)
• --aws-region: AWS region for SigV4 authentication (default: us-east-1)
• --aws-service: AWS service name for SigV4 authentication (default: execute-api)
• --aws-profile: AWS profile to use for credentials (optional)
• --no-auth: Disable authentication (no signing or bearer token)
• --timeout: Request timeout in seconds (default: 30.0)
• --verbose: Enable verbose logging
