Summary	Central hub that aggregates tools from multiple MCP servers with unified BM25/regex search and deferred loading.	One local gateway and manager for all your MCP servers, shared across every AI coding tool (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and more). Set up and authenticate each server once; lazy discovery keeps each agent's context small, and keys stay in your OS keychain. No Docker, no cloud.
