**Turn an OpenAPI spec into a *curated* MCP server an LLM can actually use — and prove it with an eval.**

A naive OpenAPI→MCP generator dumps one tool per endpoint. Point it at GitHub's
API and the model drowns in **1190 tools** and picks the wrong one. `mcp-curate`
consolidates those endpoints into a small set of clear, well-described
meta-tools — and ships an eval harness that measures whether the model picks the
right tool, raw vs curated, on *your own* spec.

## Before / after

| Spec | Raw tools | Curated tools | Reduction |
|------|----------:|--------------:|----------:|
| Swagger Petstore | 19 | **3** | 84% |
| Stripe API | 587 | **40** | 93% |
| GitHub REST API | 1190 | **40** | 97% |

```
$ mcp-curate curate examples/github.json
raw tools:     1190
curated tools: 40  (budget 40)
reduction:     97%

Curated tools (actions consolidated):
  - repos: 202 actions  [repos]
  - actions: 187 actions  [actions]
  - orgs: 108 actions  [orgs]
  - issues: 55 actions  [issues]
  ...
```

Each curated tool exposes an `action` argument that selects the underlying
operation, so 1190 flat choices become 40 namespaced ones.

**Oversized tags get split, not stuffed.** When the tool budget has headroom,
a giant tag is broken into focused sub-tools by path instead of one bloated
tool. With more budget, GitHub's 202-operation `repos` tag splits cleanly:

```
$ mcp-curate curate examples/github.json --max-tools 120 --max-actions 30
  - repos: ...            repos_branches, repos_commits, repos_collaborators,
  - repos_branches: 36    repos_comments, repos_…
