    Universal gateway means clients don't need separate configurations per server.

    Good for reducing the overhead of managing many MCP server connections.

    Single-port multiplexing for many MCP servers is the right infrastructure primitive.

    95% context reduction claim is plausible with proper meta-MCP aggregation.
