Claude Gateway

About

Claude Gateway acts as an intelligent routing layer for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, revolutionizing how Claude Desktop, API, and Code interact with external tools. Instead of overwhelming Claude with dozens of tools at startup, leading to high token consumption and context saturation, this gateway exposes only three essential tools initially. It dynamically loads specific MCP servers and their tools on-demand, dramatically reducing initial token usage by up to 95%. This enables Claude to maintain a significantly larger available context window, making its interactions faster, more accurate, and cost-effective, while providing centralized management for multiple MCPs.

Key Features

• Achieve up to 95% token reduction at Claude startup (from ~10,000 to ~300 tokens)
• Universal compatibility with any MCP server type (Python, Node.js, TypeScript, Docker, Remote)
• 0 GitHub stars
• Dynamically loads Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and their tools on-demand
• Intelligent lifecycle management for MCP server connections and error handling
• Centralized configuration and control for multiple MCP server credentials

Use Cases

• Optimizing Claude's context window and reducing token costs when utilizing numerous external tools via MCP servers
• Streamlining the management and discovery of multiple Model Context Protocol servers for Claude Desktop users
• Improving Claude's tool selection speed and accuracy by presenting only relevant tools as needed
