MCP Orchestrator Overview

MCP Orchestrator connects to downstream MCP servers configured in a JSON file and exposes their tools through a central MCP server. It namespaces tools, searches their definitions, and loads tools on demand to reduce context usage. Use it when an agent needs access to tools from multiple MCP servers through one connection.
