You shouldn't dump data in the context, only the result of the query.

Exactly, context should call queries and analyze results. TBH the more I develop my MCP the less context-window anxiety I have even on a basic (non-enterprise) plan. Of course I'm not dealing with the deluge of data the FA appears to handle.

Their charts and UI look pretty, too.

You can make MCP tools work for any type of data by using a proxy like https://github.com/lourencomaciel/sift-gateway/.

It saves the payloads into SQLite, maps them, and exposes tools for the model to run python against them. Works very well.

How does it insert itself between the agent and the mcp, does —from edit the mcp file to add itself as a mcp

It becomes the only MCP. All other MCPs are registered within the tool.
