harshal-mcp-proxy Now on npm: Single Daemon Replaces 12 MCP Server Configs
The MCP proxy that consolidates 12+ individual MCP server configurations into a single daemon is now available as an npm package. harshal-mcp-proxy ships as a 54 kB, 39-file compiled JavaScript package with TypeScript declarations and source maps. No more cloning, building, or manual systemd setup.
