Show HN: One portal for all your MCP servers

Onemcp, a new open-source tool, unifies all Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers behind a single portal endpoint, reducing context footprint by ~97% per request. The portal exposes only three meta-tools—search, describe, and execute—and supports native OAuth, per-portal auth scoping, and import/export, enabling agents to script against tools instead of drowning in tool definitions. It integrates with Cloudflare's MCP Code Mode and handles 20 servers with 480+ tools per request.

One endpoint for every MCP server

onemcp unifies all your Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers behind one portal endpoint. Your AI client connects once — the portal handles routing, native OAuth, and Code Mode, so agents script against your tools instead of drowning in tool definitions.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": { "url": "github.mcp", "auth": "ghp_…" },
    "slack": { "url": "slack.mcp", "auth": "xoxb-…" },
    "postgres": { "url": "pg.internal", "auth": "pg_…" },
    // +17 more servers
  }
}

// 20 servers · 480+ tools per request

Every tool is its own server, login, and wall of tool definitions. #

Each MCP server floods the prompt with hundreds of tool definitions on every single request — burning context and money before the model has done any work.

every tool definition, every request

search · describe · execute only

A ~97% smaller context footprint per request — the model spends its window on your problem, not on tool schemas.

One portal, three tools, and the agent writes the rest. #

onemcp puts all your servers behind a single portal endpoint. Instead of exposing every tool, a portal exposes just three and lets the model script against them — Cloudflare's MCP Code Mode. Click through a real round-trip:

portal.search({ query: "open a GitHub issue" })
[
  { tool: "github.create_issue", score: 0.98 },
  { tool: "github.search_issues", score: 0.71 }
]

How the proxy layer fits together

Your client only ever talks to the portal. It discovers what it needs, then writes one script that does the whole job in a single call — instead of a dozen round-trips with the entire toolset stuffed into every prompt.

Built for how agents actually work. #

Unified endpoint

Connect every MCP client to a single portal URL. Add or swap upstream servers without ever touching client config again.

Native upstream OAuth

Portals authenticate to upstream servers with a full OAuth flow — credentials stay host-side, never scattered across clients.

Code Mode efficiency

Three meta-tools replace hundreds of definitions. The model scripts against your tools instead of drowning in their schemas.

Per-portal auth scoping

The same server can carry different credentials in different portals — auth is scoped to the membership, not the account.

Import & export portals

Move a portal between environments or share a setup as a single portable config file.

Request logs

See every client request flowing through a portal, so you can debug what your agents are actually calling.

Stop wiring up servers. Start shipping agents. #

Spin up a portal in minutes, point your client at one endpoint, and let your agents do the rest.
