# mcp-proxy

> Use this tool when you need to bypass network restrictions in Claude Desktop sandbox environments. The mcp-proxy tool solves problems related to accessing external URLs, executing network-capable CLI commands, and reading files, by providing a proxy to fetch any URL and run tools like yt-dlp, curl, and ffmpeg. It takes URLs, CLI commands, and file paths as inputs and returns the fetched data, executed command outputs, or file contents as outputs.
