A popular Reddit thread on r/LocalLLaMA addresses the challenge of loading multiple Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers at startup, which floods the context window with tool definitions. Users are discussing potential solutions, including using MCP proxies/hubs to route requests through a single endpoint or implementing lazy-loading. This highlights a growing need for better orchestration tools as the local MCP ecosystem expands.
Quandri measured MCP tool schemas in its Claude Code setup and found significant context overhead across Linear, Notion, Slack, and Postgres. The post argues MCP can be slower, less reliable, and harder to debug than direct CLI/API usage. It recommends CLI-first workflows and on-demand Skills, while noting MCP still fits services without CLIs, non-developer users, bidirectional communication, and guarded production database access.
