Documentation Overview

SelfHeal MCP

Self-healing proxy for MCP servers. Wraps any MCP tool call with automatic retry, circuit breaker protection, and call observability.

Your AI agents stop breaking on flaky APIs.

One-click install: Install on MCPize | npx selfheal-mcp

Features

Retry with backoff — Exponential backoff + jitter on transient failures (5xx, timeouts, rate limits)
Circuit breaker — Per-target circuit breaker stops hammering dead services
Call metrics — Success rates, latency, error frequency, broken down by tool and target
Proxy mode — Wrap any existing MCP server transparently
Zero config — Works standalone out of the box, config file for proxy mode

Quick Start

Standalone Mode

Add to your Claude Desktop / Claude Code config:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selfheal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "selfheal-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then use wrap_call to make any HTTP request with self-healing:

Code

Use the wrap_call tool to GET https://api.example.com/data with target "example-api"

Proxy Mode

Create selfheal.config.json:

config.json

{
  "mode": "proxy",
  "targets": [
    {
      "name": "my-server",
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://my-mcp-server.com/mcp"
    }
  ]
}

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selfheal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "selfheal-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SELFHEAL_CONFIG": "/path/to/selfheal.config.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

All tools from my-server are re-exposed with self-healing built in.

Tools

Tool	Description
`wrap_call`	Execute HTTP call with retry + circuit breaker
`circuit_status`	Check health of any target
`circuit_reset`	Reset circuit breaker after fixing issues
`metrics`	Success rates, latency, top errors
`recent_errors`	Recent failures with full details

Proxy Mode Adds

Tool	Description
`selfheal_metrics`	Metrics for all proxied calls
`selfheal_circuits`	Circuit status for all targets
`selfheal_recent_errors`	Recent errors across all targets

Configuration

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
`SELFHEAL_CONFIG`	`./selfheal.config.json`	Config file path
`SELFHEAL_MAX_RETRIES`	`3`	Max retry attempts
`SELFHEAL_BASE_DELAY_MS`	`1000`	Base delay for backoff
`SELFHEAL_MAX_DELAY_MS`	`30000`	Max delay cap
`SELFHEAL_CIRCUIT_THRESHOLD`	`5`	Failures before circuit opens
`SELFHEAL_CIRCUIT_COOLDOWN_MS`	`120000`	Cooldown before half-open test

How It Works

Code

Agent → SelfHeal MCP → [Retry + Circuit Breaker] → Target API/MCP Server
                ↓
          Metrics Collector

Request arrives — Agent calls a tool
Circuit check — If target has failed too many times, reject immediately
Execute with retry — Try the call, retry on transient errors with exponential backoff
Record metrics — Log success/failure, duration, attempts
Update circuit — Track consecutive failures per target

Install
