Context Firewall MCP server

Your AI gets one tidy helper that shrinks big tool results and hides dozens of tools behind four simple ones.

Context Firewall is a small helper program that sits between your AI assistant and the other tool servers you use. It shrinks long results before they reach your AI, so your chats stay fast and don't fill up. It is handy if you use several tool servers at once and keep hitting limits or slow replies.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another app. This one is a middle layer: you point it at the tool servers you already use, and it becomes the single helper your AI talks to. So instead of your AI juggling many helpers, it talks to Context Firewall, which passes requests along and trims the answers.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something that needs a tool, like reading a web page or listing files. Your AI asks Context Firewall, which forwards the request to the right tool server behind it. When the answer comes back, Context Firewall trims it down: it strips junk, turns web pages into plain text, and shortens huge lists. Your AI sees a much smaller answer, and the full original is kept aside in case you need it. If you want the whole thing, your AI can ask for it in pieces.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Read that long web page for me and list my files”, the Context Firewall MCP server reaches Web pages, Your files, Big data files and Tool servers, and you get back A shorter, cleaner answer.

What you can do with it

Block certain tools from being used at all, like anything starting with delete
Print a short report at the end showing how much space was saved

What it gives back to you

You get a shorter, cleaner version of whatever the tool sent back, usually as text in the chat. If something was trimmed, your AI can ask for the rest and you'll see it in chunks. At the end of a session, you also get a small report showing how much was saved and which tools saved the most.

Before you start

What you need

Node.js 18 or newer installed on your computer
A config file listing the tool servers you want it to manage
The Claude desktop app or another AI client that supports MCP servers

Good to know

It can run any tool on the servers you connect, including ones that change or delete things, so only connect servers you trust and use the block list for risky tools.
