Conduit (formerly Toolport) is a free, open source, local first gateway that sits between AI tools (like Claude, Cursor, Codex) and MCP servers. Instead of loading every tool definition into context on every request, Conduit exposes only three meta tools that the agent searches on demand. This reduces token usage by 74–91% while maintaining task success, as measured on a frontier model. The gateway also provides tool integrity checks (fingerprinting to detect rug pulls and tool poisoning), per tool governance (toggle any tool on/off), secrets management via the OS keychain, and live observability (per server latency, error rates, audit trail).
