OmniMCP Router
The Universal MCP Gateway — One Entry Point to Rule All Your AI Tools
Plug any MCP server. Claude sees them all as one.

The Problem
You have 10 MCP servers: GitHub, Reddit, Notion, Stripe, a custom scraper…
Your Claude Desktop config is a mess. Each client can only talk to one server at a time.
Every crash brings everything down. There's no observability. No resilience.
OmniMCP fixes all of that.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Zero Hard-Coded Tools | Dynamically discovers tools from every sub-server at startup |
| Async Non-Blocking Routing | Parallel requests routed concurrently via anyio — no bottleneck |
| Auto-Healing | Exponential backoff reconnection when a sub-server crashes |
| Hot-Reload | Detects mcp_router_config.json changes live — no restart needed |
| Hook System | Mutate, intercept, and validate requests/responses in middleware pipelines |
| Performance Monitoring | Real-time profiling with PERF_WARNING for tools exceeding 5s |
| Isolated Lifecycle | Each sub-server has its own AsyncExitStack — one crash ≠ global failure |
| Safe Namespacing | Tools exposed as {server}__{tool}, sanitized to MCP spec ([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}) |
| Persistent Logging | All logs written to mcp_router.log + stderr (captured by Claude) |
| JSON Schema Validation | Strict input validation before forwarding any tool call |
| Response Truncation Hook | Auto-truncates responses >50k chars to protect context windows |
| Windows + Linux | Signal handling for both platforms |
Quick Start
# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/Simonc44/OmniMCP.git
cd OmniMCP
# 2. Install dependencies (Python 3.10+ required)
pip install -r requirements.txt
# 3. Edit your config
notepad mcp_router_config.json # Windows
# or: nano mcp_router_config.json
# 4. Run it
python router.py --config mcp_router_config.json
That's it. OmniMCP starts, connects to all your sub-servers, and exposes a single unified MCP stdio interface.

Configuration
The config file follows the exact same syntax as claude_desktop_config.json — so you can copy-paste your existing Claude Desktop config directly.
{
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
"env": { "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_xxxx" }
},
"reddit": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["C:/path/to/reddit/server.py"],
"env": {
"REDDIT_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
"REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_secret",
"REDDIT_USER_AGENT": "OmniMCP/1.0"
}
},
"trend-mining": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "trend_mining.server"],
"env": { "PLAYWRIGHT_HEADLESS": "true" }
}
}
}
Tools are exposed as {server_name}__{tool_name} — e.g. github__create_issue, reddit__search_posts.
Hot-Reload
OmniMCP watches your config file every 2 seconds. Add, remove, or modify a server — it reconnects live and sends notifications/tools/list_changed to your client. No restart needed.
Tests
The integration test suite validates the full feature set end-to-end:
python run_integration_test.py
| # | Test | What it validates |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aggregation | All tools from all sub-servers are discovered and exposed |
| 2 | Async Parallelism | Two 2s calls finish in ~2s total, not 4s |
| 3 | Perf Monitoring | A 6s call triggers PERF_WARNING in logs |
| 4 | Auto-Healing | Server crash → automatic reconnect → tool works again |
| 5 | Hot-Reload | Config change → list_changed notification → updated tool list |
Client Setup
Claude Desktop
Replace your entire claude_desktop_config.json with just OmniMCP:
{
"mcpServers": {
"omni-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": [
"C:/path/to/OmniMCP/router.py",
"--config",
"C:/path/to/OmniMCP/mcp_router_config.json"
]
}
}
}
Cursor
In Cursor MCP settings, add a stdio server:
- Name:
OmniMCP - Command:
python C:/path/to/OmniMCP/router.py --config C:/path/to/OmniMCP/mcp_router_config.json
Hook System
OmniMCP ships with a middleware pipeline for request/response mutation:
# Register a custom request hook (e.g. inject auth)
@gateway.hook_system.register_request_hook
async def inject_auth(server_name: str, tool_name: str, arguments: dict) -> dict:
if server_name == "my-api":
arguments["api_key"] = os.environ["MY_SECRET_KEY"]
return arguments
# Register a custom response hook (e.g. redact PII)
@gateway.hook_system.register_response_hook
async def redact_pii(server_name, tool_name, result):
# process result.content here
return result
Built-in hooks:
- Response Truncation — auto-truncates responses >50,000 chars with a clear notice

If Sub-Server B crashes:
- Its tools are hidden from the tool list
- A reconnect loop starts with exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 16s)
- On success: tools reappear, client gets
notifications/tools/list_changed - After 5 failed attempts: marked
failed, loop stops - Sub-Servers A and C are completely unaffected
