Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"

- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Run the server via stdio using npx binrun github.com/dstotijn/mcp-origin@latest. It provides built-in tools for installing, uninstalling, and refreshing MCP servers. Tools from connected servers are available with the prefix serverID. (e.g., foobar.search). Command-line options include --http, --stdio, --sse, and --config.

One MCP server to rule (well... manage) them all.
Features
- Connect to multiple MCP servers via a single MCP proxy
- Proxy tool calls to the appropriate server using a consistent naming scheme
- Store server configurations in a simple JSON configuration file
- Automatic tool discovery and registration from connected MCP servers
TODO
- [ ] Use external MCP registry service for discovery
- [ ] Support SSE for proxied MCP servers
Usage
Use the following command and args for MCP over stdio:
npx binrun github.com/dstotijn/mcp-origin@latest
Available Tools
mcp-origin provides the following built-in tools:
search_mcp_servers
Search for available MCP servers that can be installed.
> [!IMPORTANT] This tool isn't implemented yet.
install_mcp_server
Install and connect to an MCP server. This tool requires the following
parameters:
{
"id": "foobar", // Unique identifier for the MCP server
"type": "stdio", // Connection type (currently only "stdio" is supported)
"command": "npx", // Command to execute to start the MCP server
"args": ["-y", "@acme/mcp-foobar", ...] // Arguments to pass to the command
}
uninstall_mcp_server
Remove an MCP server from the configuration and disconnect from it. This tool
requires the following parameter:
{
"id": "foobar" // The ID of the server to uninstall
}
refresh_tools
Refresh the list of tools from connected MCP servers. This tool accepts an
optional parameter:
{
"server_id": "foobar" // Optional: Only refresh tools for this specific server
}
Proxied Tools
All tools from connected MCP servers are available with the prefix serverID.,
where serverID is the unique identifier for the MCP server.
For example, if you have a server installed with ID foobar that provides a
tool called search, the tool will be listed and is callable as
foobar.search.
Command-line Options
- --http: HTTP listen address (default: ":8080")
- --stdio: Enable stdio transport (default: true)
- --sse: Enable SSE transport (default: false)
- --config: Path to configuration file (default: "~/.config/mcp-origin/mcp_origin_config.json")
