Magg Overview

The sitbon/magg MCP server manages a collection of MCP servers and exposes their tools through a single MCP endpoint. It can search for servers, add or configure them, enable or disable them, proxy their tools with prefixes, and persist settings in `.magg/config.json`. Use it when an agent needs to extend its available tools dynamically or when several MCP backends should be accessed through one connection.
