# About webmcp.fast

webmcp.fast makes a local MCP server reachable by a cloud agent. The Model Context Protocol lets an AI agent use tools, resources and prompts that a server offers. Most useful servers run locally: a filesystem server, a git server, a database bridge, a browser automation server, a memory store, a launcher for a coding agent. Cloud agents such as Claude, ChatGPT and Grok can only reach remote servers over HTTPS with OAuth. webmcp.fast is the piece in between.

## What it does

You run a small daemon on your machine. It keeps one outbound connection to the gateway and offers the servers you attached. The gateway gives each of them a public, authenticated address of the form `https://<handle>.webmcp.fast/<device>/<server>/mcp` and relays JSON-RPC between the agent and your server. It adds no tools of its own and does not change the messages.

## Why it exists

It began as a one-off bridge that let a cloud chat agent start coding agents on a Mac. Doing that safely needed a stable URL, OAuth that the big harnesses accept, per-server scoping, device keys and an audit trail. None of that was specific to one server, so it became a general service: exposure, authentication, scoping and audit solved once, for every local MCP server and every client.

## What it deliberately does not do

- It never opens a port on your machine and never asks you to install a tunnel.
- It has no aggregate endpoint. One connector is one server on one device.
- It offers no raw shell and cannot start anything on your machine. Only your own `webmcp attach` adds a server.
- It does not store the content of relayed calls.

## Who runs it

webmcp.fast is operated by [Proticom](https://proticom.ai), a consultancy based in Huntington Beach, CA, United States, founded by [Edward Tadros](https://edwardtadros.com). The gateway runs on Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects. The daemon that runs on your machine is open source (Apache-2.0, https://github.com/proticom/webmcp, published with the first public release), because nobody should run a closed binary that can reach their local tools.

## Status

The service is new. The relay, OAuth for agents, device pairing and the dashboard are live. The one-line installer and Homebrew formula arrive with the first public daemon release, and a paid tier comes after that.
