🧪 Local Stack for testing Agents

Gridctl aggregates tools from multiple MCP servers into a single gateway, allowing you to define your stack in YAML and apply it with one command. It supports various transports (Docker, SSH, stdio, etc.) and provides features like tool filtering, output format conversion, code mode, and skills registry. Designed for fast, ephemeral, and repeatable AI tool environments.
