@DanKornas highlighted Toolport (MIT, github.com/btsouth/toolport): a local-first MCP gateway that lets you add and authenticate servers once, then share them across Claude, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, and peers via client profiles. Credentials stay in the OS keychain, with tool disablement, approval for destructive calls, and activity review. The project markets lazy discovery for large tool-token savings, plus a CLI and OpenAPI-generated full-API MCP server packs.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓Local MCP gateway: one-time add/auth, then share across Claude/Cursor/Codex/VS Code.
  • ✓Secrets in OS keychain; disable tools, approve destructive calls, review activity.
  • ✓MIT open source; lazy discovery aims to cut tool tokens; CLI and OpenAPI server packs available.
