Discover the power of the “CLGateway”, an the open-source Claude MCP Server Gateway (available on GitHub). Built for users of Claude Desktop, Claude API or Claude Code, this Python-based gateway smartly manages your MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and dramatically slashes token usage, cutting MCP context bloat by roughly 95%. Rather than forcing Claude to load every tool from all configured MCP servers (often thousands of tokens wasted upfront), the gateway exposes just three core tools initially. When you need a specific MCP server (GitHub, Google Workspace, DataForSEO, etc.), the gateway dynamically loads only what’s required, reducing tokens used, improving context clarity, and boosting performance.
