Unified MCP & Skill management gateway, shared across AI agents, 99% context token savings

Overview

AI-generated overview

Local gateway that registers MCP servers and skill packages as shared "Agent Apps", letting an assistant search, install, enable and run them on demand.

What you can do
  • Search for and install new tools or Agent Apps from a natural-language request
  • Import MCP servers and skill packages as managed Agent Apps
  • List registered Agent Apps and enable or disable them per agent
  • Remove Agent Apps and execute a specific tool inside one
  • Expose each imported app as an app_ tool that returns its operation guide and tool list
  • Auto-discover preset apps such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode when installed locally
When to use it
Useful when you connect many MCP servers or skills to several AI agents and want one shared registry instead of repeated per-agent configuration, and when you want tool schemas loaded on demand rather than injected into every conversation.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process on the user's machine, started with npx from the npm package aai-gateway, so Node.js and network access for package download are needed. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Desktop only; not available as a web executable.
Before you install
The gateway can install and import third-party MCP servers and skill packages and execute their tools, so it runs code and tools from outside sources on your machine. It can also remove Agent Apps and change which apps are enabled per agent. Review what gets installed before relying on it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open AAI Gateway in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

AAI Gateway: Unified MCP & Skill Management, Shared Across AI Agents, 99% Context Token Savings

[npm version] [license]


What Is It

AAI = Agent App Interface

AAI Gateway is the interaction gateway for Agent Apps.

What is an Agent App? An Agent App is a collection of capabilities that an Agent can use. For example:

  • An MCP Server is an Agent App — it provides a set of tools
  • A Skill package is an Agent App — it provides one or more skills

In AAI Gateway, they are abstracted as Agent Apps under unified management. Import once, and all AI Agents can use them immediately.


What Problems Does It Solve

Context Bloat

Traditional: 10 MCPs × 5 tools = 50 full schemas ≈ 7,500 tokens injected into every conversation.

AAI Gateway: each Agent App needs only fewer than 50 tokens for a summary, with details loaded on demand. 99% token savings.

Finding Tools Is Hard

Traditional: search GitHub → read READMEs → copy JSON configs → debug connections → restart Agent.

AAI Gateway: tell your Agent "use AAI to search for xxx" — auto-searches, installs, ready to use.

"Use AAI to search for a browser automation tool"

→ Search → finds Playwright MCP → Agent summarizes a one-line Agent App summary → install → ready to use, no restart needed

"Use AAI to search for a PPT creation skill"

→ Search → finds PPT Skill → uses skill description as Agent App summary → install → ready to use, no restart needed

Duplicate Config

Configure the same thing in Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode separately? Import once through AAI Gateway, all Agents share instantly.


Quick Start (30 Seconds)

Claude Code:

bash
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio aai-gateway -- npx -y aai-gateway

Codex:

bash
codex mcp add aai-gateway -- npx -y aai-gateway

OpenCode — add to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

json
{  "mcp": {    "aai-gateway": {      "type": "local",      "command": ["npx", "-y", "aai-gateway"],      "enabled": true    }  }}

OpenClaw:

bash
openclaw plugins install openclaw-aai-gateway-plugin

Once installed, just tell your Agent what you want to do.


Built-in Tools

ToolDescription
search:discoverSearch and install new tools with natural language
mcp:importImport an MCP Server as an Agent App
skill:importImport a Skill package as an Agent App
listAllAaiAppsList all registered Agent Apps
enableApp / disableAppEnable or disable an Agent App per Agent
removeAppRemove an Agent App
aai:execExecute a specific tool within an Agent App

Each imported Agent App generates an app_<app-id> tool that returns the full operation guide and tool list when called.

Developers: Get Your Agent App Auto-Discovered

Create an aai.json descriptor and submit it to src/discovery/descriptors/. When a user's local environment meets the discovery.checks conditions, the Agent will auto-discover your Agent App.

json
{  "schemaVersion": "2.0",  "version": "1.0.0",  "app": {    "name": { "default": "My App" }  },  "discovery": {    "checks": [      { "kind": "command", "command": "my-app" }    ]  },  "access": {    "protocol": "mcp",    "config": {      "command": "my-app-mcp",      "args": ["--stdio"]    }  },  "exposure": {    "summary": "Use when the user wants to do X."  }}

discovery.checks supports three check types: command (command exists), file (file exists), path (directory exists).

Supported protocols: mcp, skill, acp-agent

Welcome to submit a PR to contribute new Agent App descriptors, or open an issue for feedback.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
