I made an MCP proxy with a similar idea in the past: replace a ton of tools that consume tokens with just two (get_tool_schema, invoke_tool) - https://github.com/ameshkov/mcp-compress-router
One thing that I noticed is that it’s often better to return tool names with argument names, i.e. return “search_web(query)” instead of just “search_web” when listing tools. Otherwise models often tend to hallucinate argument names and an extra turn is required to correct the mistake.
One additional advantage that such tools provide is that when you use different coding agents you don’t have to set up all the MCP servers in every agent, you just set up one (or point the agent to the cli like in this project).

> I couldn’t find a great CLI tool for interactively probing an MCP server
What about mcp-inspector? It’s a nice tool, can be used interactively, can be used as a CLI.

Love the idea, made a Windsurf-compatible version:

No, but it's a very good point, we'll add it to the backlog

In Cyprus, companies are usually incorporated via a corporate service provider, who also provides the registered office address and PO Box services. Basically, if you need to reach out to us by mail, you should use the "legal address" from the website.

For example, in some countries it's either slowed down or outright blocked.

Actually, no, we don't resolve them. We scan the incoming ClientHello before making a decision on where to route the connections. If the connection should be bypassed we make a connection by ourselves and proxy traffic. Implementing it that way requires having a TCP stack right in the client.

Well, Google is like a small country and some parts of it are very good guys that are genuinely interested in being a "user agent".

Uh, I guess it's a little bit off-topic here:) It's hard to say what's more harmful, I'd say cookies still take #1, but I think we're not far from the moment when your email address or its derivative will be used as the main advertising ID. Regarding evolution, well, definitely possible, the time will show.

This is actually supported by both the client and the server.
To use it in mobile clients you need to specify two domain names like that: fake-sni.com|domain.com where “fake-sni.com” is the domain thay will be in the SNI and “domain.com” is the domain in your TLS certificate (used to check the server’s authenticity)

There are no shady alleys in Cyprus:)
We have only one office in Limassol, the company is mostly remote: https://maps.app.goo.gl/pounSEQqBvYftZGZ6?g_st=ic
(we are moving to a bit bigger office in the neighboring building, no nice photos on google yet)
We do not have a dedicated team page on the website, but we’re not hiding our faces, the team can be found on Github. Members of the team often visit AFDS [1] [2], you can see some faces there (including mine).

Hi, thank you very much for supporting AG!
We are very cautious with Apple as we suffered from them before [1]. So we're trying to stick to the APIs they provide. I hope the new URL filtering API [2] will improve the situation with the system-wide filtering, but our request for API access is still being reviewed by Apple.
Regarding jailbroken iOS devices, unlike Android the numbers are really marginal so it won't be feasible to support them.

You mean in TrustTunnel apps? You can create a routing profile there and select which domains/ips are bypassed, and then select that routing profile in the vpn connection settings.

We support both H2 and H3 and this is necessary. QUIC is not bad, but there are places where it either does not work at all or works too slow.
And one more thing, even though the code and spec is only published now, we’ve been using TrustTunnel for a long time, started before CONNECT_UDP became a thing.
We’re considering switching to it though (or having an option to use it) just to make the server compatible with more clients.
