pi-mcp-adapter

Skill by ara.so — MCP Skills collection.

Overview

pi-mcp-adapter is a token-efficient proxy for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in the Pi coding agent. Instead of exposing hundreds of tool definitions (10k+ tokens per server), it provides a single ~200 token proxy tool that discovers MCP capabilities on-demand. Servers lazy-load when needed, keeping your context window clean.

Key benefits:

• One proxy tool instead of hundreds cluttering context
• Lazy server loading — only connect when tools are called
• Direct tool registration for high-priority tools
• Standard MCP file support — reads .mcp.json and ~/.config/mcp/mcp.json
• Interactive configuration via /mcp overlay
