+> **Note:** AWS publishes an official proxy for this use case: [`mcp-proxy-for-aws`](https://github.com/aws/mcp-proxy-for-aws). It is mature, feature-rich, and AWS-supported. **Use it unless you specifically need a Node.js solution.** This package exists for teams that don't have (or want) a Python runtime — it provides the same core functionality as a single `npx` command with zero Python dependencies.
+
 A stdio MCP proxy that signs requests with AWS SigV4 using the standard credential chain. Drop it into your `.mcp.json` as a `command` entry to connect Claude Code (or any MCP client) to IAM-authenticated MCP servers like AWS Bedrock AgentCore — with per-profile auth via `AWS_PROFILE`.

 ## Security
 
-- **HTTPS-only** — `MCP_SERVER_URL` must use `https://`. Other schemes (`http://`, `file://`, `ftp://`) are rejected at startup to prevent SSRF.
+- **HTTPS-only** — `MCP_SERVER_URL` must use `https://`. The only exception is `http://localhost` / `http://127.0.0.1` for local development.
 - **TLS enforcement** — the proxy refuses to start if `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0` is set, since it sends signed AWS credentials.
 - **Input validation** — only well-formed JSON-RPC 2.0 messages are signed and forwarded.
 - **Sanitized errors** — HTTP error bodies from the upstream are logged to stderr, not forwarded to the MCP client. Only the status code is relayed.
 - **Buffer limits** — SSE streams are capped at 1 MB to prevent unbounded memory growth.
