I spent nearly a year perfecting a desktop MCP gateway that creates significant hidden value in terms of management efficiency and token costs.
So far, it only has 16 stars.

Meanwhile, another tool that enables the "plugins" menu for the Codex desktop client—allowing access to third-party providers—already has over 1,000 stars in less than two weeks.

For a tool that exists in such a legal gray area to gain that much traction, is the issue with MCP, or is it me? What should I do? Have you ever worked on serious projects that ended up being very quiet or lacking in traction?
