Summary	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	Turn a web service into an MCP server in one click without making any code changes.
