HProxy MCP server
A free proxy list, a live proxy checker and an IP lookup for AI assistants, hosted by HProxy at one address. No key, no account, nothing to install.
It speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP and is listed in the official MCP Registry as com.hproxy/mcp.
Add it to your assistant
Claude Code. In a terminal:
Or as a plugin: the server plus a skill that tells Claude how to use it well. In a terminal:
Claude and Claude Desktop. Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, then paste the address:
ChatGPT. Settings, Security and login, turn on Developer mode, then create an app with this address and No authentication (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education, on the web):
Cursor. In ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
VS Code. In .vscode/mcp.json:
Windsurf. In ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
Gemini CLI. As an extension: the server plus a short guide for the model. In a terminal:
Or by hand, in ~/.gemini/settings.json:
Any other MCP client. Add https://mcp.hproxy.com/mcp as a remote server (Streamable HTTP) with no authentication.
The tools
All three only read. None of them needs a key.
Things to ask
- "Give me twenty elite German SOCKS5 proxies and check which are alive."
- "Find five fast US HTTP proxies, test them, and give me only the working ones."
- "Who runs the network behind 8.8.8.8, and where is it?"
Good to know
- These are public free proxies. Expect fewer than half to answer at any moment, set short timeouts, and never send passwords or personal data through one.
- Limits are per IP address. The checker takes 120 requests in a burst, then 5 a second, and 300,000 proxies a day, because every check opens a real connection. Past a limit, the tool says how many seconds to wait.
- For proxies that must hold up against real blocking, HProxy sells residential proxies.
The same tools without MCP
Plain HTTP, no key, CORS open:
Documentation: free proxy list API, proxy checker API, IP lookup API. Written for language models: hproxy.com/llms.txt.
From a terminal: the hproxy command, one file for macOS, Linux and Windows, built in public from source (the release). Install it in one line on macOS and Linux:
On Windows, in PowerShell:
Then:
hproxy mcp serves the same three tools as a local MCP server, for an assistant that starts programs on your computer.
The whole list as plain files, updated around the clock: hproxy-com/free-proxy-list.
Support
Support is staffed around the clock at hproxy.com/contact. You may build these tools into your own software, free of charge and without asking.
