Best MCP Gateway for 50% Token Cost Savings

TL;DR: Classic MCP dumps 100+ tool definitions into every LLM call. Bifrost's Code Mode generates TypeScript declarations instead, cutting token usage by 50%+ and latency by 40-50%. If you are running 3 or more MCP servers, this is the single biggest cost lever you have. The Problem with Classic MCP I have been testing MCP setups for a few months now. The standard approach is simple. You connect your MCP servers, and every tool definition gets sent to the LLM as part of the context window. Every single call. With 3 MCP servers, you might have 30-40 tools. With 10 servers, easily 100+. Each tool definition includes the name, description, input schema, and parameter types. That is a lot of tokens. And you are paying for every single one of them on every request. The math is straightforward. If your average tool definition is 200 tokens, and you have 50 tools, that is 10,000 tokens of overhead per call. At scale, this adds up fast. How Bifrost Code Mode Changes This Bifrost takes a differ
