i built maybe don't ai's mcp gateway——but to me the interesting technology isn't about the registry or flattening of downstream MCP servers (honestly that was a reasonably easy problem to solve) it's about the behavior of the AI agents that are connecting to these servers and making very bad decisions.

And yes to teh comments about people making a million of these... so very very many of them.

Looks similar to MetaMCP https://github.com/metatool-ai/metamcp Not sure which of these tools is currently the best but they are clearly needed. I am testing MetaMCP to expose internal MCP servers to the cloud version of Claude, enabling me to use Home Assistant and some other internal services in verbal conversations with Claude app on the phone. I think 3rd party MCP server use is available in other AI assistants a…

Agntcy is a little more elaborate, but also notable as a massive AI tool that includes tool management. Donated to Linux Foundation from Cisco & many others. https://outshift.cisco.com/blog/agntcy-donated-to-linux-foun... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44731621

This is awesome, I was just looking at scaffolding for doing something like this today.

This needs to be able to support plugins to override behavior. I don't want my models having a giant tool registry, I want them to ask an oracle for the best 3 options, and I'd like to be able to inject specific behavior on a per MCP basis.

Hey, im building https://mcp-boss.com (MCP Gateway SaaS) and im looking for ways to improve the offering, and im interested in what you mean with "inject specific behavior on a per MCP basis"?

Just off the cuff I'm not sure a MCP manager has got quite the scope for a SAAS offering, at least not if you're just managing config. There might be a play at the enterprise level if you can integrate deeply with domain policy.

Mostly I find working with MCPs pretty easy, but there is some minor benefit to hosting mcp servers that are more involved to set up. The thing that I would pay a small amount for (which is why I'm building it myself) is a MCP oracle that configures the MCP server set for an agent based on the task it's working on.

Totally, its also the realisation have gotten too. Im working now to expand the offering to be able to run agents/sub-agents with Agent2Agent which all get access to the MCP:s.

Although i believe too for development teams it might be valuable, all devs get automatically access to all services with 1-click install etc etc. But question is how unique/powerful is it.
