Insights, tutorials, and updates about MCP management and AI tool orchestration.
MCP gets blamed for eating context windows, but the protocol itself uses zero tokens. This article shows exactly where tokens are consumed—with a step-by-step demo that traces 120,000 tokens through a simple two-tool workflow.
You add a few MCP servers. GitHub for code, Notion for docs, maybe Slack for notifications. Suddenly Claude feels... slower. Less helpful. It misses context you explicitly provided. It gives generic answers to specific questions.
Every MCP tool gets injected into your context window on every turn. 10 servers with 100+ tools? That's 40,000+ tokens gone before Claude even starts thinking about your question.
Here's how to fix it.
DeployStack turns MCP from "complex to set up" into "just add a URL" by solving credential management (encrypted team vault with automatic injection) and context window consumption (hierarchical router reducing tokens by 99.5%). Teams get access to 600+ MCP servers with zero installation, centralized security, and the ability to scale without hitting performance limits.
