Set up your MCP servers once. Use them in every AI client.
Toolport is a local gateway for MCP, the protocol that gives AI apps access to tools like GitHub, Slack, and databases. Connect your servers once, then share them across Claude, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, and other clients.

- Less context overhead. Agents search for tools when they need them instead of loading every tool definition up front. This helps clients that send every definition on each request, past roughly 10 to 25 tools. Clients with their own tool search, such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, already defer definitions. See the benchmarks.
- One setup for every client. Add and authenticate each server once. Use access sets to choose which servers each client can reach.
- Keys stay local. Credentials live in your OS keychain, outside client configs.
- Control over tool calls. Disable tools, require approval for destructive calls, and review activity in one place.
- Download Toolport for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Add a server from the catalog, import an existing setup, or paste a server config. Curated servers that need launch arguments show a Launch setup section in the app.
- Authenticate the server, then open Clients and connect your AI apps. Restart or reload the client once so it picks up Toolport.
Installers and release notes are also on GitHub Releases. On Arch and Omarchy, the pacman repository keeps Toolport on your normal update path. It stays on 1.24.2 until the staged 2.x rollout finishes; use the AppImage for 2.x until then.
