Natural Context Provider (NCP). Your MCPs, supercharged. Find any tool instantly, load on demand, run on schedule, ready for any client. Smart loading saves tokens and energy.

NCP (Natural Context Provider) is an MCP aggregator that consolidates 50+ disparate MCP servers into a single unified interface for AI agents. Instead of loading every tool definition upfront and burning tokens, agents use three simple tools — find, code, and run — to discover and invoke any capability on demand. Code mode lets the agent write TypeScript workflows combining multiple tools in one step. NCP reports 97% fewer tokens consumed and 5x faster tool selection compared to loading individual MCP servers.
