toolport

Active·★ 235·MIT·Updated 2026-10-22

Toolport acts as a local gateway for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling all AI clients to share a single configuration for their tools. It significantly reduces token costs by using lazy discovery to advertise only necessary meta-tools, saving up to 91% of total tokens.

toolport sits in the LLM Infra category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Fewer tokens: lazy discovery reduces tool definition overhead by up to 99.6% and total tokens by up to 91%.. A representative use case is Managing tool access and authentication for multiple AI clients (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Codex) from a single point.. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 235. Relevant tags include AI Tool Management, LLM Gateway.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.

Features

01Fewer tokens: lazy discovery reduces tool definition overhead by up to 99.6% and total tokens by up to 91%.
02One configuration for every AI client: set up servers once, and all connected clients share them.
03Supply-chain security: detects tool integrity issues like rug-pulls, tool poisoning, and content defense against agent-jacking.
04Per-agent scoping: assign specific servers to different AI clients for fine-grained access control.
05Built-in tool playground: test any MCP tool with an auto-generated form before connecting to an AI client.

Use cases

↳Managing tool access and authentication for multiple AI clients (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Codex) from a single point.
↳Significantly reducing token costs for AI agents that interact with a large number of tools or APIs.
↳Enhancing the security of AI agent operations by detecting malicious tool changes or content injection.
↳Streamlining development and testing of new MCP servers and tools for AI agents without individual client configuration.
↳Enabling teams to share a governed set of AI tools and API integrations while maintaining individual member key security.
