From the repository
mcp-remote-go https://remote.mcp.server/sse
docker run --rm -it -p 3334:3334 ghcr.io/naotama2002/mcp-remote-go:latest https://remote.mcp.server/sse
The first time you connect to a server requiring authentication, you'll be prompted to open a URL in your browser to authorize access. The program will wait for you to complete the OAuth flow and then establish the connection.
Authorization tokens are stored in ~/.mcp-auth/ and will be reused for future connections.
If you're having issues with authentication, you can clear the stored data:
rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth
