NCP - Natural Context Provider
1 MCP to rule them all
Your MCPs, supercharged. Find any tool instantly, execute with code mode, run on schedule, discover skills, load Photons, ready for any client. Smart loading saves tokens and energy.
Related Portel project: Photon turns TypeScript methods into reliable agent-facing capabilities: MCP tools, embedded app UIs, CLI commands, web routes, schedules, webhooks, retries, and Beam interfaces. NCP helps agents discover and operate tools; Photon helps developers build the tools and apps agents can trust.
💍 What is NCP?
Instead of your AI juggling 50+ tools scattered across different MCPs, NCP gives it a single, unified interface with code mode execution, scheduling, skills discovery, and custom Photons.
Your AI sees just 2-3 simple tools:
- find - Search for any tool, skill, or Photon: "I need to read a file" → finds the right tool automatically
- code - Execute TypeScript directly: await github.create_issue({...}) (code mode, enabled by default)
- run - Execute tools individually (when code mode is disabled)
Behind the scenes, NCP manages all 50+ tools + skills + Photons: routing requests, discovering the right capability, executing code, scheduling tasks, managing health, and caching responses.
Why this matters:
- Your AI stops analyzing "which tool do I use?" and starts doing actual work
- Code mode lets AI write multi-step TypeScript workflows combining tools, skills, and scheduling
- Skills provide domain expertise: canvas design, PDF manipulation, document generation, more
- Photons enable custom TypeScript MCPs without npm publishing
- 97% fewer tokens burned on tool confusion (2,500 vs 103,000 for 80 tools)
- 5x faster responses (sub-second tool selection vs 5-8 seconds)
- Your AI becomes focused. Not desperate.
🚀 NEW: Project-level configuration - each project can define its own MCPs automatically
What's MCP? The Model Context Protocol by Anthropic lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. Think of MCPs as "plugins" that give your AI superpowers like file access, web search, databases, and more.
