Think of this as a reverse proxy for your MCP servers. Instead of configuring each client to talk to multiple MCP servers individually, Anvil sits in the middle as a single gateway daemon. You point your Claude Desktop or other MCP client at Anvil, and it handles routing requests to the right upstream servers based on your config file. The big win is centralized auditing and inspection of all MCP traffic flowing through your system. Reach for this when you're juggling multiple MCP servers and want unified logging, request monitoring, or a single point of control without modifying each server's setup.
