MCP.Pizza Chef: beycom

This MCP server bundles over 250 tools like web search, Excel, databases, diagrams, and file operations into one place. You can use it inside apps like Cursor or VS Code by installing and pasting a config snippet. It helps your AI do many tasks efficiently without needing API keys, reducing token use and cost by letting your AI write code to call tools directly.

README

OneTool

🧿 One MCP for developers - no tool tax, no context rot.
250+ tools your agent calls as Python code: search, docs, files, databases, diagrams, vision, memory - plus a proxy for every MCP server you already use.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex - any MCP client


The Problem

Every MCP server re-sends its tool definitions on every request: 3K-30K tokens each. Connect 5 servers and you've burned 55K tokens before the conversation starts. Connect 10+ and you're at 100K.

The math is brutal: Claude Opus 4.5 at $5/M input tokens, 20 days × 10 conversations × 10 messages × 3K tokens = $30/month per MCP server - even if you never use the tools.

And then there's context rot - your AI literally gets dumber as you add more tools (Chroma Research, 2025).

The Solution

OneTool is one MCP server that exposes tools as a Python API. Instead of reading tool definitions, your agent writes code:

__onetool brave.search(query="react 19 server components")

Configure one MCP server. Use unlimited tools - ~2K tokens no matter how many you add.

"Agents scale better by writing code to call tools instead. This reduces the token usage from 150,000 tokens to 2,000 tokens...a cost saving of 98.7%"

— Anthropic Engineering

97% fewer tokens. 30× lower cost. No context rot. (Measured - 47,660 → 1,131 input tokens against 18 MCP servers.)

Code Is the Interface

Because tools are Python functions, your agent does things tool-call JSON can't: batch, chain, loop, compose.
