`Strata`: one MCP server that exposes thousands of tools progressively

Instead of dumping every tool into context, Strata narrows discovery step by step. If the reported +15.2% pass@1 gain holds, it is a practical pattern for deeper agent workflows.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Tool access is staged by app -> category -> action -> parameters, which cuts token waste and tool-selection errors.
  2. It targets the common MCP ceiling of 40-50 tools by hiding most actions until the agent asks for them.
  3. The pitch is depth: one app like GitHub or Jira can expose hundreds of low-level actions without overwhelming the model.
  4. Built-in auth handling and documentation search reduce glue code, so multi-tool agents get simpler to wire up.
  5. Reported benchmark deltas are +15.2% vs the official GitHub server and +13.4% vs the official Notion server on MCPMark.
