MCPBank

Discovery & Routing Layer for AI Agents

We tame the chaos of AI tooling, cut inference costs, and scale agents — lazy-loading the right tools on demand instead of flooding the context window.

See how it works
01 / PROBLEM

Too many tools is the new context bottleneck.

AI agents are drowning in hundreds of MCP tools. Limited LLM context windows drive up inference cost, slow responses, and trigger hallucinations.

  • Models have a limited context window
  • More MCP servers and integrations every week
  • Loading every tool upfront is expensive
  • The agent struggles to pick the right tool
  • Inference cost and deployment complexity rise
0

tools flooding the context of a single agent across 6 MCP servers — before it does anything useful.

02 / SOLUTION

A Discovery + Routing layer between your agent and MCP.

MCPBank sits between the AI agent and your MCP servers. It lazy-loads tools on demand, cuts token overhead by ~92%, and stays fully compatible with existing MCP servers out of the box.

01

Finds the right servers & tools

Semantic + keyword search over a registry of MCP servers and their tools.

02

Loads only on demand

Lazy schema loading — the model pulls a tool's schema only when it actually needs it.

03

Cuts token overhead

Keeps the input context tiny, so inference is cheaper and tool selection is sharper.

04

Works with existing MCP

No rewrites. Drop it in as middleware between your agent and the integration ecosystem.

03 / ARCHITECTURE

Two modes. One shared core.

A real MCP server speaking stdio / JSON-RPC 2.0 — with a Discovery Mode for browsing and a Dynamic Mode for just-in-time tool loading.

04 / BENCHMARK

~92% less token overhead — before the first tool call.

In the Lazy Schema Loading scenario (v0.3.0) the model fetches only the schemas it needs, instead of the full toolset of every connected MCP server.

fewer tokens of input context — 6 servers loaded directly vs MCPBank Discovery Mode before connect.

05 / VALUE

Value proposition

Lower token cost

Pay for the tools you use, not the ones you might.

Smaller input context

Keep the window lean and the model focused.

Faster, sharper tool selection

Fewer distractors means the right call, more often.

Less chaos at scale

Hundreds of integrations stop fighting for context.

Enterprise agent scaling

A control plane your fleet of agents can grow into.

06 / WHY NOW

Why now?

An explosion of B2B AI agents. MCP became a global standard under the Linux Foundation — with OpenAI, Microsoft, Google and AWS behind it. The orchestration layer is still unclaimed.

  • Explosion of AI agents
  • Integration standardized by MCP
  • Surge in tool-based workflows
  • Mounting pressure on inference cost
  • Agent infrastructure / orchestration is the new battleground
07 / MARKET

Why “AI Middleware” commands premium valuations.

In every platform shift, the biggest, most durable returns came from infrastructure — the pickaxe sellers — not the end apps. MCPBank is a gateway, not another AI wrapper.
