The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond.
Toolport
Local-first MCP gateway. One port for every tool and every AI client: lazy discovery (~90% token savings), tool integrity + quarantine, secrets in the OS keychain.
Install
$
git clone https://github.com/btsouth/toolportInstall command taken from the project's README or registry entry. Always review code before running it.

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.

Why Toolport?
- Less context overhead. Agents search for tools when they need them instead of loading every tool definition up front. It pays off past roughly 10 to 25 tools, so a single small server sees no gain. See the benchmarks.
- One setup for every client. Add and authenticate each server once. Use profiles to choose which servers each client can access.
- 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.
Get started
- 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.
