Perforce Agentic Gateway MCP Server

Perforce Agentic Gateway (PAG) is a local MCP gateway providing a token efficient code mode. AI clients are configured once, to connect to PAG and all other MCP servers are instead configured through PAG. Instead of being set up with and loading the tools of each MCP separately, PAG manages the running MCP server processes, restarts them when they crash, and stores their necessary credentials in your OS Keychain.
