Toolport

Live

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.

FreeNo sign-upWorks offlineOpen source
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.
Watch out
The '91% overhead cut' figure is the product's own claim; we haven't independently benchmarked it.

FlowForge

Live

A visual drag-and-drop editor for Mermaid diagrams inside VS Code that keeps diagrams as plain Git-friendly Mermaid source, instead of hand-writing diagram syntax.

Open source
What to know▼
How it works
Open a .mmd file, build on an infinite canvas; source stays in sync with the visual edits.

Hooman

Live

An open-source AI agent runtime for the terminal, VS Code, and other ACP-compatible editors, letting you bring your own models or API keys instead of a hosted agent service.

Open source
What to know▼
How it works
Runs agent, plan, ask, and design modes with MCP integrations, reusable skills, subagents, and approval controls, using local (llama.cpp/MLX) models or your own API keys.
Best for
Developers who want to control their own agent stack instead of a closed hosted one.

Ricochet coding

Live

An open-source AI coding agent that works in your editor, terminal, or via Discord and Telegram, with approvals and diff review before it touches code. For developers who want to supervise an agent, not just chat with one.

Open source
What to know▼
How it works
An open-source, local-first AI coding agent for VS Code-compatible editors, CLI/TUI, and messengers via Ether Live Mode (Discord, Telegram), keeping a reviewable task timeline with approvals, checkpoints and pending diffs, and routing across BYOK or Grik-hosted models.
What's different
Keeps a reviewable approval timeline instead of running as an editor-only assistant, with swarm workers for recurring checks and remote follow-ups.
Best for
Developers who want to supervise and approve an AI agent's changes rather than just chat with it.

Dynamic Feed

Live

A single API call returns live, cryptographically signed data across 87 sources so AI agents and software can verify what they're consuming — a developer-facing trust layer, not a consumer app.

No sign-upOpen source
What to know▼
How it works
A single keyless API call returns structured JSON for 87 live tools across 19 verticals; each datapoint carries its source, licence, timestamp and an Ed25519 signature, optionally Bitcoin-anchored.
What's different
Data is cryptographically verifiable rather than just scraped and cited, and it works without signup or an API key via an MCP endpoint or batch POST.
Best for
Developers building AI agents or software that need to independently verify the live data they consume.

What's different
Nothing hits git until you apply.
Pricing
Free and open source.
Best for
Developers resolving merge conflicts in VS Code or Cursor.
