I built an open-source MCP control plane. Been using it daily for my own work.

Backend story:

Since I use MCP tools daily, both privately and at work, I've had quite a few problems with them:

• Every MCP tool gets injected into context on every turn = huge token waste
• OAuth flows are fun to set up and maintain
• MCP servers are hard to discover and install (I mean quality ones - yes, I know there's an official catalog with 1k test servers)
• Sharing MCP servers across a team is a great job!

So about 6 months ago I started building something to fix it.

What I built:

Instead of exposing X tools directly, I built a "satellite" (think of it like a GitHub runner) that exposes just 2 meta-tools:

1. discover_mcp_tools(query) - searches across all your MCP servers
2. execute_mcp_tool(tool_path, args) - runs the tool you need

That's it. 50,000 tokens → ~1,400 tokens. 97% reduction.

What else it does:

• MCP server catalog - browse and install with one click (no more npx commands and JSON editing, yes this thing can handle npm MCP servers - no more local install)
• Credential vault - API keys stored encrypted, auto-injected (no more tokens in Slack messages)
• Team management - share MCP servers across your team without everyone configuring everything

How to use it:

Just add this to your Claude Code config:

claude mcp add --transport http deploystack https://satellite.deploystack.io/mcp

That's the whole setup.
