### Description (declared)

# Semantic MCP

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/semantic-mcp.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/semantic-mcp/)

Semantic router for MCP ecosystems - Discover, manage, and execute tools across multiple MCP servers with progressive disclosure.

## Overview

`semantic-mcp` is a FastMCP-based MCP server that provides semantic discovery and lifecycle management for other MCP servers. It connects to a discovery service for semantic search and manages server lifecycles locally via ZMQ-based IPC.
