About smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go
A Go-based proxy server that sits between AI agents and MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools, enforcing access control, rate limiting, and audit logging. It intercepts tool calls to prevent unsafe operations and provides a unified security layer for multi-tool agent deployments.
Best for
Developers deploying AI agents that need a simple, auditable security layer over MCP tools.
Use cases
- Secure an AI agent's access to sensitive MCP tools with role-based permissions
- Monitor and log all tool invocations for compliance or debugging
- Throttle agent requests to prevent abuse or cost overruns
Notes
239 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-06-01. Licensed MIT.
Pros
- Lightweight Go binary with minimal dependencies
- Adds security guardrails without modifying agent or tool code
- Open source with active community (239 stars)
Cons
- Requires running and maintaining a separate proxy service
- Limited to MCP protocol tools, not general API proxies
- Documentation may be sparse for advanced configurations

Add smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go to your client
No install recipe yet. We write one for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and ChatGPT when the server is in the official MCP registry with a package or remote address we can use.
Until then, follow the project's own README, or the setup the listing publishes under How to set it up.
