Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Route HTTP requests through the Tor network. Rotating exit IPs, .onion support, no body logging.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Developer tools

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http tor https://tor.regiq.in/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tor": {
      "url": "https://tor.regiq.in/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "tor": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tor.regiq.in/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization HTTP header
    Bearer — get yours at https://tor.regiq.in after sign-in.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

  • More stars than 0% of the other 5569 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 23% of the other 5569 servers in this category

Common questions

Is Tor MCP safe?

It passed 0 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

README from the maker

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

tor-mcp

Route HTTP requests through the Tor network from any MCP-compatible agent.

Live at [tor.regiq.in](https://tor.regiq.in) · Free forever · Google sign-in

What it does

Gives Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client four tools:

ToolWhat it does
tor_fetch(url, method?, headers?, body?)HTTP request through Tor; returns status/headers/body
tor_get_exit_ip()Current exit node IP + country (verified via check.torproject.org)
tor_new_circuit()Force a fresh Tor circuit (SIGNAL NEWNYM)
tor_check(url)HEAD probe — is target reachable through Tor?

Honest scope

Tor exit nodes are blocked by Cloudflare on most big-brand sites (Indeed, Google, Amazon, etc.). Use tor-mcp for:

  • Non-Cloudflare sites
  • Geo-hidden fetches (see a site from a random country)
  • .onion services
  • IP-based rate-limit circumvention on APIs that don't blocklist Tor
  • Testing your own site from N different exits

If you need to hit Cloudflare-protected sites, use browser-mcp instead — real Chrome from a fixed Hetzner IP works for most WAFs, and you can layer a residential proxy on top for the rest.

Setup

  1. Sign in with Google at tor.regiq.in
  2. Generate an MCP API key on your dashboard
  3. Add to Claude Desktop / Cursor:
{

"mcpServers": { "tor": { "url": "https://tor.regiq.in/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } }

Limits (per API key, free tier)

  • 100 requests/day
  • 30s timeout per request
  • 10 MB response body cap
  • Methods: GET, POST, HEAD only

Higher quotas for aggregators — email shreyas.pavuluri@gmail.com.

Privacy

  • DNS resolves inside Tor (socks5h:// scheme) — no plaintext lookup from our host
  • We log: target host, method, response status, duration, size
  • We never log: full URLs, query strings, request bodies, response bodies, cookies, headers
  • Standard TorBrowser User-Agent sent by default

Self-host

git clone https://github.com/globalion/tor-mcp

cd tor-mcp cp .env.example .env # fill in docker compose up -d --build

Then browse to http://localhost:3021.
