Problem Statement
Claude cowork only permits custom connectors that have an HTTPS connection available. This makes it challenging to build and deploy local MCP. My current example is a pyzotero implementation running locally. With my current configuration I need to wrap this is in a proxy and self-sign a certificate prior to utilising the connector. This is a bit onerous.
Proposed Solution
Could we get the option to have HTTP/HTTPS or local execution?
Alternative Solutions
_No response_
Priority
Low - Nice to have
Feature Category
MCP server integration
Use Case Example
When creating a custom connector the UI offers a choice of route i.e. HTTP/HTTPS/local
