Before you start
- Review the HOPX upstream documentation for its installation requirements
- Obtain any credentials required by the upstream service
- A running Bifrost MCP Gateway instance
What you can do with HOPX
- Execute Python, JavaScript, Bash, and Go code in isolated cloud containers with sub-150ms startup times. Pre-installed data science libraries (pandas, numpy, matplotlib) for AI-powered data analysis and code testing.
- Expose HOPX tools to Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients through one endpoint
- Apply virtual keys, tool allowlists, and audit logging at the gateway
[ HOW TO CONNECT ]
Connect HOPX to Bifrost in three steps
Install Bifrost
Start the gateway locally or deploy in your VPC.
npx -y @maximhq/bifrost
Add HOPX in MCP Gateway
Open MCP Gateway in the Bifrost dashboard, click New MCP Server, and select the transport documented by the upstream server. Or register via the API below.
• Confirm the transport, command or endpoint, and authentication requirements in the HOPX upstream documentation.
• Replace every placeholder in the example before sending the request.
Point clients at Bifrost /mcp
Configure Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code to use your Bifrost endpoint with a virtual key instead of connecting directly to HOPX.

}[ EXAMPLE CONFIG ]
Register HOPX via API
Add this MCP client with a POST to /api/mcp/client. See Connecting to MCP Servers for full options.
# For a remote HTTP or SSE server:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/client \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "hopx",
"connection_type": "<http|sse>",
"connection_string": "<upstream MCP endpoint>",
"tools_to_execute": ["*"]
}'
# For a local STDIO server:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/client \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "hopx",
"connection_type": "stdio",
"stdio_config": {
"command": "<upstream command>",
"args": ["<arg>"]
},
"tools_to_execute": ["*"]
}'[ WHY BIFROST ]
Run HOPX through one governed gateway
Access control
Virtual keys, RBAC, and tool allowlists per team or agent.
Cost governance
Attribute MCP tool spend alongside LLM usage in one view.
Observability
Log every tool call with latency, server, and virtual key metadata.
Credential isolation
Upstream secrets stay in the gateway — not on every laptop.
[ FAQ ]
Common questions
What does the HOPX MCP server do?
Execute Python, JavaScript, Bash, and Go code in isolated cloud containers with sub-150ms startup times. Pre-installed data science libraries (pandas, numpy, matplotlib) for AI-powered data analysis and code testing. The exact tools available depend on the upstream server version and configuration.
How do I connect HOPX to Bifrost?
Check the upstream documentation to determine whether HOPX uses STDIO, Streamable HTTP, or SSE. Then add it as an MCP client in Bifrost using the corresponding command or endpoint.
Does Bifrost replace the HOPX MCP server?
No. Bifrost connects to HOPX as an upstream MCP client and adds a governed gateway between that server and your AI assistants.
