Conduit (Toolport) — Local MCP Gateway¶

Conduit is a local-first desktop application that puts all your MCP servers behind one unified gateway. Configure your MCP servers once in Conduit, and they're automatically available to Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and any other MCP-compatible tool you use. No more copy-pasting JSON configs between tools.

Why This Matters¶

Anyone running more than one MCP client knows the pain: configure servers in Claude Desktop's JSON, then again in Cursor, then again in Codex, and keep them all in sync. Conduit solves this by being the single source of truth — configure once, broadcast everywhere. For teams standardizing on MCP tooling, this is infrastructure.

Installation¶

# Desktop app (macOS/Windows/Linux)
# Download from releases: https://github.com/tsouth89/conduit-aggregator/releases

# Or run the gateway directly
npm install -g conduit-aggregator
npx conduit-aggregator

Configuration¶

Instead of configuring each MCP client individually, point them all to Conduit's local endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "conduit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["conduit-aggregator"],
      "env": {
        "CONDUIT_PORT": "3456"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then in Conduit's desktop UI, add all your actual MCP servers. They're instantly available to every connected client.

Key Features¶

Single config — manage all MCP servers from one desktop interface
Multi-client broadcast — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex all see the same tools
Local-first — all traffic stays on your machine, no cloud dependency
Hot reload — add/remove servers without restarting clients

CorpusIQ Relevance¶

For teams running CorpusIQ's MCP server alongside other tools (GitHub, Filesystem, Brave Search), Conduit simplifies the configuration matrix. Could be recommended in CorpusIQ's onboarding docs as the preferred multi-server management approach.
