Validate activity before betting a new project on MCP-Bridge. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between AgentGPT and MCP-Bridge? AgentGPT: Assembler for autonomous AI Agents. MCP-Bridge: A middleware to provide an openAI compatible endpoint that can call MCP tools.
