Toolport

LiveWatched 26d

A local gateway that lets every AI coding client share one set of MCP server connections instead of configuring each tool separately, cutting how many tools your agent has to load.

Watch out · The '91% overhead cut' figure is the product's own claim; we haven't independently benchmarked it.

FreeNo sign-upWorks offline
What to know
How it works
A local-first, open-source gateway. You set up and authenticate each MCP server once, and every connected AI client — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex — shares that same connection instead of you configuring it per tool.
What's different
Claims up to 91% less tool-token overhead by giving an agent a handful of meta-tools instead of loading hundreds of individual tool definitions; API keys stay in the OS keychain.
Pricing
Free, open source, no sign-up.
Best for
Developers running multiple AI coding clients against the same set of MCP servers who don't want to re-authenticate each one separately.
