From the README
<p> </p> # Pi MCP Adapter Use MCP servers with [Pi](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/) without burning your context window. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4b7c66ff-e27e-4639-b195-22c3db406a5a ## Why This Exists Mario wrote about [why you might not need MCP](https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-02-what-if-you-dont-need-mcp/). The problem: tool definitions are verbose. A single MCP server can burn 10k+ tokens, and you're paying that cost whether you use those tools or not. Connect a few servers and you've burned half your context window before the conversation starts. His take: skip MCP entirely, write simple CLI tools instead. But the MCP ecosystem has useful stuff - databases, browsers, APIs. This adapter gives you access without the bloat. One proxy tool (~200 tokens) instead of hundreds. The agent discovers what it needs on-demand. Servers only start when you actually use them. ## Install ```bash pi install npm:pi-mcp-adapter ``` Restart Pi after installaRead full README on GitHub →
