Technical answers for engineers integrating APIFunnel
Traditional MCP (Model Context Protocol) is typically a local setup where you manually configure servers on your machine (like in Claude Desktop or Cursor) using local JSON config files. APIFunnel is a hosted MCP platform that provides a unified gateway. Instead of managing dozens of local config files, you connect to our hosted bridge. We handle the discovery, authentication, and execution of tools across an infinite amount of servers through a single connection. This means your agent setup works identically across every device and IDE you use.
