ToolBudget Router MCP
Route and cap MCP tool context cost before your agent loads heavy schemas or burns the window on the wrong tools.
Overview
ToolBudget Router MCP is a MCP server for the Build phase that routes agent tool context against budget limits with schema cost estimates, usage audits, and readiness checks.
What is this MCP server?
- Context-budget routing across MCP tool catalogs
- Schema token or cost estimates before invoking tools
- Usage audits for agent tool consumption
- Readiness checks before enabling high-cost tool sets
- Paid streamable-http remote endpoint with bearer token auth (v0.1.0)
- Server version 0.1.0 per MCP registry metadata
- Access model: paid_mcp_bearer_token
- Transport: streamable-http at toolbudgetrouter.clauxel.com/mcp
What problem does it solve?
Adding more MCP tools makes schemas eat your context budget and you cannot tell which tools are worth keeping before the agent already fails mid-task.
Who is it for?
Indie builders running multiple paid or verbose MCP servers who need predictable context usage before daily coding sessions.
Skip if: Teams that use only one lightweight local MCP or do not measure token pressure from tool definitions.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get cost-aware routing signals and audit visibility so you trim or defer expensive tools while keeping the integrations that actually ship features.
- Budget-oriented routing guidance for connected MCP tools
- Schema cost estimates and usage audit reports
- Readiness assessment before expanding the tool surface
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Solo builders hit context limits while wiring multiple MCP servers during product build; budget routing belongs on the integrations shelf where tools are selected and composed. Schema cost estimates and readiness checks apply at the moment you connect remote MCP endpoints to Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex—not after launch traffic.
How it compares
Remote MCP cost-and-context router, not an agent skill or generic observability dashboard.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is ToolBudget Router MCP for?
Solo and indie builders who connect several MCP servers to coding agents and need to control schema weight and tool usage before context collapses.
When should I use ToolBudget Router MCP?
Use it while designing or refactoring your MCP stack in the build phase, especially before enabling large tool catalogs or paid remote servers in production agents.
How do I add ToolBudget Router MCP to my agent?
Complete checkout on toolbudgetrouter.clauxel.com, claim your MCP bearer token, then add the streamable-http remote URL https://toolbudgetrouter.clauxel.com/mcp with an Authorization: Bearer header in Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client that supports remote HTTP.
