# Show HN: Forth MCP – give any remote AI client access to your local MCP servers > Source: > Published: 2026-08-28 12:59:28+00:00 # Give any AI client access to your local MCP servers Forth MCP is a hosted relay that puts your local, NAT'd, or firewalled MCP servers behind a single secure URL. No port forwarding. No VPN. No exposing your machine. Install one lightweight connector, and any MCP-speaking AI client can call your tools from anywhere. MCP server / any MCP client ## Running in three steps No infrastructure to manage. The connector runs quietly in the background as a service. ###### Install the connector One binary, installed as a background service on Windows, macOS, or Linux, straight from your dashboard. ###### Attach your connector token One token authenticates every local MCP endpoint you add, npx package or plain HTTP address. ###### Call it from anywhere Point any MCP client at your Forth MCP URL and API token. It just works, wherever your machine is. ## Everything you need to run MCP in production Built for real fleets of tools, not just a single local demo. ### One-command install A single self-contained binary. Runs as a Windows service, launchd agent, or systemd unit, published straight from your dashboard. ### Multi-endpoint connectors One connector token authenticates every local MCP endpoint you add, npx package or HTTP address alike. Add or remove them independently. ### Per-token tool permissions Scope each API token to an allowlist of tools, so different AI clients or teammates only ever see what they need. ### Usage dashboards & quotas See calls by token and by tool in real time, with configurable per-plan limits, threshold alerts, and an instant kill switch. ### Live health monitoring Know the moment a connector instance or endpoint drops. Re-add a deleted endpoint later without losing the rest of your connector. ### Built for agentic workflows A grace buffer protects an in-progress agent session. No hard cuts mid-task the instant a quota is hit. ## Simple, predictable pricing Flat monthly tiers with a hard usage cap. No metered billing surprises.
