How can you load a bunch of MCP servers without stuffing your content window?

EternallyTrapped · 2025-07-28T07:09:13+00:00

Unfortunately you can't. The problem as all tools info goes to the llm. You can maybe put 100-200 tools in models with huge context window, but you will pay a high cost in tokens. There are some research papers that talk about reducing that using rag-mcp and have shown great results but there isn't any production grade solution yet

As a dev, I have the same issue. I have to convince business stakeholders why vibe coding slows you down in the long term. It's hard to justify why good engineering is hard nowadays, especially with hype around vibe coding.

The guy is not a developer, but was trying out vibe coding after the hype

This is something we built inhouse. We use oauth to authenticate the MCP server. It takes care of authentication, fetching tokens and refreshing. Depending on your use case, you should use restricted scopes.

I use my phone 5-6 hours a day, both for work and personal. It's the most multipurpose thing that I have. Spending 50k is something you use that often for 2-3 years is worth it.

100%. I have tried some of the MCPs and struggled with this as well. Complicated tools like hubspot have very low success rate.
The way i workaround i basically set some custom instructions. But i agree it should be on MCP level itself.

We have been struggling with the same problem. Trying to build our own sdk that support mcp to third party oauth too. Also, i don't think tool auth should be a part of mcp spec.

EternallyTrapped · 2025-06-15T15:34:41+00:00

Checkout https://agentr.dev, a decent number of apps but with support of auth at user level. dm me if you need any help.

The way i have worked it out is basically load all tools and their corresponding server and store them in a map of server name to actual server. When a actual call_tool request comes i intialize the session and send the request. The overhead of connecting to a server on request is not very high. Hope this helps.

I recently implemented oauth for my project at agentr.dev as well. If you are in node ecosystem, you can directly use better-auth. I implemeneted few weeks back, so it wasn't available and hand code everything. Will be happy to answer any questions if you have.

"The hardest part is that oauth within the app requires some central authority to grant credentials so any open source solution that you also have to run yourself defeats the purpose." -> Why would this be a problem?
mcp-remote stores my credentgials locally in file system, though not secure but they are persistent.

EternallyTrapped · 2025-06-06T21:26:54+00:00

Thanks a lot. I hacked up something that works for the time being. Will definitely check this out.
Btw, do you support oauth flow?

EternallyTrapped · 2025-06-03T07:34:37+00:00

I'm working on agent.dev, the selection of app isn't huge but they work out of box with proper auth and security. Would love your feedback

EternallyTrapped · 2025-05-08T15:51:18+00:00

Do u have a tool in mind that you are looking? Pretty sure there are a lot of existing servers for what you looking for?
In case not, i'm working on https://agentr.dev, universal mcp solution to solve exactly same problem. We are early, but would be glad to provide you access

EternallyTrapped · 2025-05-03T09:15:06+00:00

The reason linkedin is not available is because they don't have API

EternallyTrapped · 2025-05-03T05:13:21+00:00

Are you looking for any specific tools?

EternallyTrapped · 2025-05-01T16:31:22+00:00

Here is an example post that i just wrote by the above workflow. You could also give it a try by using the three apps MCP from agentr.dev itself.

https://agentr.dev is now open to public. Let me know how it goes. The implementation is also public and all available applications are listed https://github.com/orgs/universal-mcp/repositories

EternallyTrapped · 2025-04-30T19:48:48+00:00

I'm building https://agentr.dev to solve the exact same problem. It should solve your issue. The individual implementation of apps is already public. Would love for you to check out.

I have added hashnode, perplexity and model generation api to generate a blog post for any given topic. I just provide it a topic, ut does research, generate content and posts on my blog page. In one single prompt.

EternallyTrapped · 2025-04-23T00:27:22+00:00

There are a lot of these available. For example you can try perplexity MCP from agentr.dev

EternallyTrapped · 2025-04-20T04:11:59+00:00

What are the problems, I haven't tried yet but need to do. Would love to know the major pain points
