Interactive TUI powered by fzf - toggle servers instantly with visual feedback
Every enabled MCP server bloats your context window with tool definitions. Just 10 servers can consume 200,000+ tokens—your entire context budget—before you even start working.
Each MCP tool consumes ~600-800 tokens on average. An average server has 20-30 tools (~20,000 tokens). Large servers like google_workspace have 90+ tools consuming 60,000+ tokens. With just 10 servers enabled, you're easily consuming 200,000-250,000 tokens—exceeding your entire context budget before your first prompt.
Each tool: ~700 tokens. Average server: 20-30 tools = 20,000 tokens. 10 servers = 200k+ tokens consumed before you start.
Budget exhausted or exceeded before your code. Large servers (60-100+ tools) can consume 50k-85k tokens each.
Processing hundreds of unused tool definitions slows every response and dramatically inflates costs.
Debugging authentication? You need 0 MCP servers. Yet with 10 enabled, Claude is burning 200k+ tokens on cryptocurrency APIs, router configs, and web scrapers.
A fast, beautiful TUI that lets you enable only the MCP servers you need, when you need them. Disable 10 servers → reclaim 200k+ tokens. Enable only the 1-3 servers for your current task. Toggle with a keypress and launch Claude with an optimized context window—all in under a second.
Sub-second launch. Toggle any server on/off with SPACE. Save and launch with ENTER.
Enable only 1-3 servers per task. Reclaim 100k-200k+ tokens for your code, not unused tool definitions.
Atomic updates, automatic backups, explicit consent for changes. Never corrupt your config.
