Managing 200+ MCP Tools: How to Avoid Agent Overload?
Calm-Republic9370 · reddit · 2026-07-31
As business grows, a developer's MCP (Model Context Protocol) server now includes 58 tools, with plans to add at least 150 more. The community generally agrees that when the number of tools exceeds 90, the LLM's accuracy in selecting the right tool drops significantly.
The author is asking for standard architectural solutions to handle this scale, such as using proxy servers for tool routing or implementing advanced dynamic loading and retrieval mechanisms to prevent context overload.
