Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

mcp-router is a Rust-based MCP proxy that aggregates multiple MCP servers behind a single interface, exposing only three tools to Claude Code to reduce token usage and startup time. It caches tool lists, shapes JSON responses, and supports a sandboxed JavaScript code mode for scripting tool calls.

Target audience: AI/LLM developers and Claude Code users
