HTTP servers

HTTP servers expose MCP over network endpoints. In the UI, you choose a transport and then fill a single URL field.

HTTP Streamable

Transport: "HTTP Streamable"

• URL field label: "HTTP Streamable URL"
• Use this for JSON-only MCP endpoints that respond to standard HTTP calls.

Example URL:

• http://localhost:8080/mcp

HTTP SSE

Transport: "HTTP SSE"

• URL field label: "HTTP SSE URL"
• Use this for servers that provide MCP over Server-Sent Events.

Example URL:

• http://localhost:8080/sse

Authorization prompts

If the server requires OAuth, Broxy shows an authorization dialog and opens a browser window. See OAuth, discovery, and dynamic client registration for details.

Headers

For HTTP transports, you can set:

• Headers (key:value per line)

Use headers only when your downstream server requires them. If you set an Authorization header, Broxy skips OAuth discovery for that server.

If you edit configuration files

• HTTP Streamable uses "transport": "http"
• HTTP SSE uses "transport": "sse"
