What is MCP Auto Tool Switcher?

MCP Auto Tool Switcher is a central management system for coordinating tools and resources of multiple MCP servers. It allows users to access the functions of all connected MCP servers through a single entry and automatically manage server status and tool caches.

How to use MCP Auto Tool Switcher?

After installation, simply start the main server, and it will automatically connect to and manage all MCP servers in the configuration. You can access the tools of all servers through simple commands without operating each server separately.

Use Cases

Suitable for scenarios where you need to use the functions of multiple MCP servers simultaneously, especially when these servers provide complementary tools. It is also suitable for users who want to simplify MCP server management.

Main Features

Cross-Platform SupportCan run on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems

Server ManagementEasily add, remove, enable, or disable MCP servers

Tool DiscoveryAutomatically discover and list all available tools, prompts, and resources

Tool ForwardingForward tool requests from other MCP servers as an intermediate layer

Auto StartupAutomatically start all enabled MCP servers during initialization

Intelligent CachingAn efficient caching mechanism to improve performance
