A local MCP gateway that can cut AI agent token use
Conduit is a for managing many in one place. AI clients such as Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Codex can share the same setup, so each client does not need its own separate tool .
Its main idea is : the agent does not receive every available tool upfront and instead searches for tools when needed. This turns a large tool list into 3 , which reduces the amount of tool information sent to the agent.
The project says this can cut token use by about 90%. stay in the keychain rather than being stored in the cloud.
