Target Reference Server
Crabeye MCP Bridge Overview
crabeye-mcp-bridge MCP server places a single STDIO endpoint between an AI assistant and multiple upstream MCP servers. It exposes only `search_tools` and `run_tool`, keeping upstream schemas out of the context window until a tool search is performed. Upstreams can use STDIO, HTTP, or SSE, with namespacing, fuzzy discovery, credentials, and per-tool execution policies. Reach for it when many MCP connections create excessive tool-schema context or when centralized execution controls are needed.
Primary Use Cases for Crabeye MCP Bridge:
- Consolidate many MCP servers behind one assistant connection
- Search a large tool catalog before loading tool schemas
- Require approval for selected upstream tools
- Store upstream credentials outside plain-text configuration
