everything · Summary
Official MCP test server exercising all protocol features for client builders.
lazy-mcp · Summary
Lazy MCP proxy server that loads tools on-demand to reduce context window usage and token consumption.
everything · Use cases
- Testing MCP client implementations against all protocol features
- Learning MCP protocol capabilities through a reference server
- Validating client compatibility with different transport methods
lazy-mcp · Use cases
- Reducing context window usage in large LLM applications with numerous MCP tools
- Implementing permission controls for sensitive tools through Claude Code hooks
- Organizing and categorizing multiple MCP servers into a coherent hierarchy

Installation
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/voicetreelab/lazy-mcp.git
cd lazy-mcp- Build the proxy server:
make build- Configure by setting up your hierarchy structure:
./build/structure_generator --config config.json --output testdata/mcp_hierarchy- Add to Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport stdio mcp-proxy build/mcp-proxy -- --config config.json- Set up permission hooks if needed (see README for details).
