This desktop proxy application sits between your AI IDE and multiple MCP servers, letting you federate hundreds of tools while bypassing API limits like Cursor's 40-tool cap. Instead of loading every tool schema upfront, your AI agent gets a single `retrieve_tools` function that dynamically fetches relevant tools based on natural language queries. The proxy includes security quarantine for new servers, works offline across platforms, and significantly reduces token usage. You'd reach for this when managing complex workflows that need access to many different MCP servers simultaneously, or when hitting function limits in tools like Cursor or OpenAI's API.
