*What it does:* MCP Adapter is a gateway for AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude, Copilot) to connect to external tools and services. Right now it's great for development setups - I use it daily with Claude Code.

*Why I built it:* Every AI coding assistant needs to connect to various services, but there's no clean way to manage these connections. Plus, giving agents unrestricted access to tools creates security and performance issues.

*Current state:* - Production-ready with 200+ tests - Works great for personal development workflows - Handles basic authentication and tool routing - Exploring additional features based on community feedback

*The bigger picture:* This could evolve into infrastructure for any organization deploying AI agents. Central control over tool access is critical for security and performance. But for now, it's solving my immediate problem of coordinating AI tools in development.

Would love feedback on the approach and to hear if others are hitting similar coordination challenges with AI tools.
