MCP servers are useful, but a large MCP configuration creates a new set of problems:

- every agent connects to many servers at startup, making startup slower;
- complete tool schemas consume context before the agent has done any work;
- rarely used servers stay alive and consume processes and connections;
- each client needs another copy of the same configuration;
- agents can understand existing configuration, but users still have to recreate services one by one.

MCP Manager Gateway, or **MMG**, puts those servers behind one gateway. An agent sees a small discovery surface, searches for the capability it needs, reads the exact schema, and calls the selected tool. Catalog operations do not start downstream services; a `lazy` server starts on its first real call.
