MCP Dev Summit North America

As MCP adoption grows, a challenge emerges: how do you expose 100’s of tools from a single server without overwhelming agent context windows? This talk introduces an MCP tool discovery mechanism we’ve built that dynamically loads tools. The platform works with a single discovery meta-tool on initialization, server-side state management to track agent context, and leveraging streamed MCP’s notifications/tools/list_changed to push relevant tool sets mid-session. Agents declare their problem context (incident response, monitoring etc) and receive only the tools they need, when they need them. Attendees will learn how this pattern keeps context windows lean while maintaining access to a broad tool ecosystem, with real examples showing how a single MCP server can serve diverse agent use cases without tool overload.
