pi-mcp-adapter

Why we included this project

If you run the Pi coding agent, MCP has probably felt like a bad trade: every server you connect spends thousands of tokens just describing its tools before you've used any of them. This adapter puts those servers behind a single proxy tool that costs roughly 200 tokens, and the agent pulls in a specific tool only when it needs it. Servers stay off until you actually call one of their tools. It reads standard .mcp.json files with no extra configuration, and a /mcp setup command can import existing setups from Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, showing exactly what it will change before writing anything. If you've already invested in MCP servers for databases, browsers, or anything else, you can keep those tools working inside Pi instead of rewriting them as CLI scripts.
