Toolport is a free, open-source, local-first MCP gateway. Set up and authenticate each MCP server once, and every AI client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and the rest) shares it. Your agent loads a handful of meta-tools instead of hundreds, cutting tool-token overhead up to 91%. Every call is fingerprinted for tampering, your API keys stay in the OS keychain, and you get a full audit trail. No containers, no sign-up.

What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Toolport runs locally with no sign-up or containers, so your API keys never leave your machine and stay locked in the OS keychain instead of scattered across config files.
  2. Configure each MCP server once inside Toolport and every client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex) picks it up automatically, no more copy-pasting credentials into separate setups.
  3. Instead of flooding your AI client with hundreds of raw tools, Toolport exposes a small set of meta-tools per server, cutting tool-token overhead by up to 91% and keeping context windows clean.
  4. Every MCP call gets fingerprinted for tampering and logged to a full audit trail, so you can trace exactly what each agent touched and when.
  5. Toolport is free and open-source, meaning you can inspect the code, self-host it on any machine, and avoid vendor lock-in while still getting a production-grade MCP gateway.
