Proxies Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, offering robust quota management and comprehensive tool filtering capabilities.

The Limit Tool serves as an intelligent proxy server designed for Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, providing a centralized solution for managing and controlling access. It enables precise quota management, allowing administrators to set granular usage limits—hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or 'once'—for individual MCP tools. This ensures controlled resource consumption and fair access. Beyond quotas, it offers crucial tool filtering, letting you define an allowlist of specific tools clients can access, enhancing security and governance. With hot-reloading capabilities, configuration changes, including new app additions or quota updates, are applied instantly without server restarts, ensuring uninterrupted service. The tool also meticulously tracks and persists tool usage, providing valuable insights, and can manage multiple MCP server backends through a single, unified interface.
