Back to [MCPProxy Desktop Extension](/mcp/mcpproxy-desktop-extension). ## Most discussed ### Improve retrieve_tools diagnostics for annotation filters and automation-critical tools ### Summary I am using MCPProxy as a local lightweight gateway for many MCP servers, with `retrieve_tools` as the main way to keep tool schemas out of the agent context until needed. This works very well overall, but I ran into a failure mode where a tool existed and was callable, yet was effectively hidden from routine automation because annotation-based filtering removed it without a very actionable explanation. I would like to propose a small set of discovery/diagnostic improvements rather [Read the thread](https://github.com/smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go/issues/969) · 2026-08-10 · open · outside contributor · 9 comments ### Listen port config setting being ignored `/Users/alex/.mcpproxy/mcp_config.json` ``` { "listen": "127.0.0.1:30080", ``` Core is still runs at port 8080.

This means you can't easily store mcp_proxy.json in version control. I'd love to be able to use something like macOS Keychain, 1password, etc. I could imagine having templating in command, env, etc, and expose things that way. I've used keyring-rs bindings for node before. I can't tell if this is golang bindings for it, or just using the same keyring name: [Read the thread](https://github.com/smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go/issues/58) · 2025-09-13 · closed · outside contributor · 8 comments ### OAuth regression for runlayer backed servers I was helping someone set mcpproxy up, and they ran into these errors to oauth: ``` { "detail": [ { "type": "missing", "loc": [ "query", "resource" ], "msg": "Field required", "input": null } ] } ``` This is a regression of https://github.com/smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go/issues/155 I had been running off the version on https://github.com/smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go/pull/255 and was able to reproduce once i merged main.

It might be their implementation issues or different protocol versions/approach to development. One of the most annoying but also a very desirable is Jetbrains MCP. If i add SSE endpoint its just doesn't loads any tools. If i try stdio - it loads, but might lose the connection. Such connection issues can lead to dashboard freeze, which is a not a big deal most of the time. Application might even hang and only forced kill helps.

The spawned process fails with `zsh:1: command not found: docker`, even though: - Docker Desktop is installed (`/Applications/Docker.app`) - The Docker daemon is running (socket present at `~/.docker/run/docker.sock`) - mcpproxy's own status reports `docker_available: true` / `global_enabled: true` The root cause is that a **default Docker Desktop install [Read the thread](https://github.com/smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go/issues/696) · 2026-06-16 · closed · outside contributor · 5 comments ## Most recent ### [bug] this is a test feedback message > [!NOTE] > This issue contains **verbatim text submitted anonymously** via the in-app `mcpproxy feedback` form.
