Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers — install paths, tools, quality signals, and directory engagement so you can pick the right one for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
Local proxy that collapses N downstream MCP servers into 4 meta-tools with progressive tool discovery (measured: 122 tools → 4, 28.6K tokens of definitions saved), compresses large tool outputs (HTML→Markdown, JSON structure summarization, base64 stripping — 60–95% measured on real pages/APIs) with full-output retrieval via readmore, and prints a per-session token-savings report. Security-relevant outputs are never silently compressed. Install: npx -y context-firewall --config config.json
Query more than 40 apps with one binary using SQL. It can also connect to your PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite compatible database. Local-first and private by design.
