Latent Gate MCP Server
A VL-JEPA-inspired pipeline that compresses images, text, conversations, and RAG documents locally via Ollama, then sends only compact payloads to any LLM API - every saving measured with a real tokenizer and checked for lost facts.
People who work with api cost, computer vision and embedding and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Latent Gate
before you install - you'll need
LATENTGATE_HOST
Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.
Claude Code
claude mcp add kathanmodh259-latent-gate -- uvx latent-gateClaude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"kathanmodh259-latent-gate": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"latent-gate"
]
}
}
}Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use
pypi package latent-gate - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.KathanModh259 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · What Latent Gate can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
What you can build
An agent gets 2 documented tools across cursor, continue, including Cursor, Continue.dev.

06 · Latent Gate FAQ
What is Latent Gate?
A VL-JEPA-inspired pipeline that compresses images, text, conversations, and RAG documents locally via Ollama, then sends only compact payloads to any LLM API - every saving measured with a real tokenizer and checked for lost facts.
Is Latent Gate still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-30, its last commit was 2026-09-25 and it shipped 2 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Latent Gate?
Run `uvx latent-gate`. The README documents one environment variable (LATENTGATE_HOST) to set first. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Latent Gate run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
