Every MCP server you enable injects its tools into every AI request, even if you never use it. I measured it (even though I'm careful not to mess things up, but sometimes I forget): 4 servers = 163 tools = ~$515/month wasted on coding sessions.
I created LeanProxy to fix this, reduces that by 99% with on-demand loading. It's an evolution of Nexus-Dev I made before, optimized further by removing the memory part that isn't always needed with an MCP proxy.
