Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Unified MCP & Skill management gateway, shared across AI agents, 99% context token savings

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aai-gateway": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "aai-gateway"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add aai-gateway -- npx -y aai-gateway

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aai-gateway": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "aai-gateway"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "aai-gateway": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "aai-gateway"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is AAI Gateway safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.10) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

AAI Gateway: Unified MCP & Skill Management, Shared Across AI Agents, 99% Context Token Savings


What Is It

AAI = Agent App Interface

AAI Gateway is the interaction gateway for Agent Apps.

What is an Agent App? An Agent App is a collection of capabilities that an Agent can use. For example:

  • An MCP Server is an Agent App — it provides a set of tools
  • A Skill package is an Agent App — it provides one or more skills

In AAI Gateway, they are abstracted as Agent Apps under unified management. Import once, and all AI Agents can use them immediately.


What Problems Does It Solve

Context Bloat

Traditional: 10 MCPs × 5 tools = 50 full schemas ≈ 7,500 tokens injected into every conversation.

AAI Gateway: each Agent App needs only fewer than 50 tokens for a summary, with details loaded on demand. 99% token savings.

Finding Tools Is Hard

Traditional: search GitHub → read READMEs → copy JSON configs → debug connections → restart Agent.

AAI Gateway: tell your Agent "use AAI to search for xxx" — auto-searches, installs, ready to use.

"Use AAI to search for a browser automation tool"

→ Search → finds Playwright MCP → Agent summarizes a one-line Agent App summary → install → ready to use, no restart needed

"Use AAI to search for a PPT creation skill"

→ Search → finds PPT Skill → uses skill description as Agent App summary → install → ready to use, no restart needed

Duplicate Config

Configure the same thing in Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode separately? Import once through AAI Gateway, all Agents share instantly.


Quick Start (30 Seconds)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio aai-gateway -- npx -y aai-gateway

Codex:

codex mcp add aai-gateway -- npx -y aai-gateway

OpenCode — add to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{

"mcp": { "aai-gateway": { "type": "local", "command": ["npx", "-y", "aai-gateway"], "enabled": true } } }

[OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai):

openclaw plugins install openclaw-aai-gateway-plugin

Once installed, just tell your Agent what you want to do.


Built-in Tools

ToolDescription

Architecture


Developers: Get Your Agent App Auto-Discovered

Create an aai.json descriptor and submit it to src/discovery/descriptors/. When a user's local environment meets the discovery.checks conditions, the Agent will auto-discover your Agent App.

{

"schemaVersion": "2.0", "version": "1.0.0", "app": { "name": { "default": "My App" } }, "discovery": { "checks": [ { "kind": "command", "command": "my-app" } ] }, "access": { "protocol": "mcp", "config": { "command": "my-app-mcp", "args": ["--stdio"] } }, "exposure": { "summary": "Use when the user wants to do X." } }

discovery.checks supports three check types: command (command exists), file (file exists), path (directory exists).

Supported protocols: mcp, skill, acp-agent
