Workday is a disaster, at least the version we have.
Try https://www.klavis.ai, which is a open source MCP integration platform. (I am one of the co-founders)

How can I submit my service to your website? Is there a simpler way than creating a PR here? https://github.com/Klavis-AI/klavis/tree/main/mcp_servers
Yes, submit a PR there and we will merge it if the quality of your server is good and we think it will be helpful to our communities. You can read our contributing guide for more detail: https://github.com/Klavis-AI/klavis/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.m....

"One MCP server for AI to handle thousands of tools" I wonder if they intended to refer the Tron movie where the Master Control Program(MCP) handles thousands of programs.
No this is pure coincidence lol.

Can services dd to your supported list of MCP servers? Or do you write all the servers?
Strata supports connecting to custom external MCP servers via API: https://docs.klavis.ai/api-reference/strata/create. For the servers on our website, most of them are created by ourselves.

We're keeping an unofficial allow list at work. Basically just major software companies only. Third party mcp servers at this point are basically just attack vectors. How do you even vet them continuously?
Honestly vetting MCP seems like a YC company in and of itself.
We build our MCP servers ourselves and many of them are open source. You can check out our github repo.

How do you folks think about the Manus finding on dynamic tool selection? https://manus.im/blog/Context-Engineering-for-AI-Agents-Less...
> A natural reaction is to design a dynamic action space—perhaps loading tools on demand using something RAG-like. We tried that in Manus too. But our experiments suggest a clear rule: unless absolutely necessary, avoid dynamically adding or removing tools mid-iteration. There are two main reasons for this:
> 1. In most LLMs, tool definitions live near the front of the context after serialization, typically before or after the system prompt. So any change will invalidate the KV-cache for all subsequent actions and observations.
> 2. When previous actions and observations still refer to tools that are no longer defined in the current context, the model gets confused. Without constrained decoding, this often leads to schema violations or hallucinated actions.
> To solve this while still improving action selection, Manus uses a context-aware state machine to manage tool availability. Rather than removing tools, it masks the token logits during decoding to prevent (or enforce) the selection of certain actions based on the current context.
Their findings on KV-cache invalidation are spot on for a single-context approach.
Strata's architecture is philosophically different. Instead of loading a large toolset and masking it, we guide the LLM through a multi-step dialogue. Each step (e.g., choosing an app, then a category) is a separate, very small, and cheap LLM call.
So, we trade one massive prompt for a few tiny ones. This avoids the KV-cache issue because the context for each decision is minimal, and it prevents model confusion because the agent only ever sees the tools relevant to its current step. It's a different path to the same goal: making the agent smarter by not overwhelming it. Thanks for the great link!

Heads up, your docs for “Getting Started > Multi-app integration > open source” point to a broken link for the open source code:
https://docs.klavis.ai/documentation/quickstart#open-source
Add a call to the mintlify cli ‘mint broken-links’ into your CI and you should be set!
Thank you! I did not know this trick! I am fixing this now.

1. I was not talking about official MCP servers, those are often even free. Im talking about pricing of other devtools for aggregating tools/mcp's. I think this is an obvious space to build i agree, i just worry about differentiation. Its a search space not as big as web search, or complex (order doesnt matter).
2. Yes, i see, this is what i meant by agentic search. Essentially is a tiny subagent, taking list of tools in and out the relevant ones. Still implementable in 5 mins. But i guess if the experience is very smooth enterprise might pay?
1. Yes I agree. To be honest we are a young company (as you can tell we are from YC X25), so we are still figuring out the pricing. But thank you for the feedback and sharing your thoughts.
2. Yes the idea is not complex once you understand it. But there are some nuances we found along the way and supporting more integrations are always important but requires engineering efforts. Thank you!
