Toolport came out of Tyler getting tired of pasting the same API keys into a fresh JSON file for Claude, Cursor, Codex and VS Code, so it sits between your agents and your MCP servers, set up once and shared by all of them, exposing a few searchable meta-tools instead of dumping every definition into context.
🔥 Our Take: Three servers cost him 24,000 tokens of tool definitions before he had asked anything, and on a 415-tool catalog the overhead drops 99.5%, which is the sort of number that makes you check the benchmark twice. The part I did not expect is the security work: he is a cybersecurity vet, so the gateway fingerprints tools, flags rug-pulls, treats injection-looking output as data rather than instructions, and holds destructive calls until you approve them. Your agent asking before it drops the table is a better pitch than the token saving.
