NCC Group has introduced an HTTP to MCP Bridge, allowing security assessments of remote MCP servers by providing an HTTP interface for handling Server-Sent Events (SSE) communication. This tool simplifies interaction with MCP protocols by enabling the sending and receiving of JSON-RPC messages through a standard HTTP setup, while future developments aim to enhance its capabilities and support for client-side testing.

A lightweight implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in pure Bash offers a zero-overhead alternative to heavier runtimes like Node.js and Python. It features full JSON-RPC 2.0 support, dynamic tool discovery, and external configuration via JSON files, making it easy to extend with custom tools. The article provides guidelines for implementing tool functions and includes examples for creating a weather server.
