A web app that proxies MCP servers and lazy-loads tool schemas on demand to eliminate per-request token overhead
Every MCP-connected agent today loads the full schema for every registered tool on every request, burning thousands of tokens before a single line of useful work runs. Teams operating agents at scale pay for this overhead on every call, and their context windows fill up with schema definitions that are rarely needed. A hosted proxy layer sits between the agent and its MCP servers, exposes a small discovery interface, and only injects a tool's full schema into context when the agent actually needs to call it.

Gap Assessment
5 tools exist (mcp2cli, mcp-gateway (RaiAnsar), Claude Code MCP Tool Search, RunLayer, Manufact) but gaps remain: CLI-only, no hosted service, no per-team access control, no usage analytics, no schema caching layer, requires the developer to rewire every integration manually.; 1 GitHub star at time of signal, essentially unmaintained, no hosted version, no auth, no team management, no billing..

Competitive LandscapeFREE
| Product | Does | Missing |
|---|---|---|
| mcp2cli | Converts MCP servers into CLI tools so the agent invokes a command instead of loading the full JSON schema into context. Claims 96-99% token reduction. | CLI-only, no hosted service, no per-team access control, no usage analytics, no schema caching layer, requires the developer to rewire every integration manually. |
| mcp-gateway (RaiAnsar) | Lazy-loading proxy that loads MCP servers on demand instead of upfront. Exposes 4 lightweight discovery tools instead of every server's full schema set. | 1 GitHub star at time of signal, essentially unmaintained, no hosted version, no auth, no team management, no billing. |
| Claude Code MCP Tool Search | Anthropic built on-demand tool loading into Claude Code reducing overhead by ~85% natively within the Claude Code product. | Claude Code only, not available as standalone infrastructure for other agent frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, custom), no cross-framework support, no cost visibility dashboard. |
| RunLayer | Enterprise MCP infrastructure layer with threat scanning, VPC deployment, and identity provider integration. Raised $11M seed from Khosla and Felicis. | Enterprise-only pricing and positioning, no self-serve tier for small teams, focused on security governance rather than token cost reduction. |
| Manufact | YC S25 company building cloud infrastructure for AI agents to interact with software via MCP. Raised $6.3M seed from Peak XV. | Broad infrastructure play, not focused specifically on token overhead and lazy schema loading. No public pricing. |
