A Reddit dev is validating an open-source, self-hostable proxy that sits between MCP clients and servers, handling OAuth flows, token expiration, silent refresh, and provider-specific quirks via Docker. Target users are Cursor/Claude/Copilot/custom MCP clients tired of implementing refresh logic themselves; the author explicitly wants real pain points over "yes I'd use it."

开发者在 Reddit 发起需求验证：想做一个自托管的 MCP 认证代理，部署在 MCP 客户端与服务器之间（Client → Auth Proxy → Server），统一处理 OAuth 认证、token 过期、静默刷新、refresh-token 存储与多家 provider 的兼容差异，计划用 Docker 自托管并开源。
目标是让 Cursor、Claude、VS Code/Copilot 等各类 MCP 客户端不必各自实现刷新逻辑、反复踩过期凭据的坑。作者明确表示更想听大家现有的痛点和 workaround，而不是简单的「我会用」。
