Kitbag MCP

by syedtaj7

Kitbag MCP is a single, open-source Model Context Protocol server that bundles a curated library of 50+ high-value utility tools β€” document converters, OCR processors, web scrapers, data formatters, and AI developer utilities β€” all in one place.

Instead of installing, configuring, and paying to host a dozen single-purpose MCP servers, install Kitbag MCP once and selectively enable only the modules you need. It runs entirely on your machine: zero hosting costs, no API keys, no server setup.
