# How many servers one agent can handle: Top MCP Servers

**Answer in brief:** Each server adds tools the model has to choose between. Fewer, clearer tools help it pick the right one.


## Tools compete for attention

Every connected server adds its tools to the list the model reads before each step. When tools look alike, the model can pick the wrong one or stop to ask. Keep servers that overlap off the same agent.

## Trim what each server loads

Some servers load only part of their tools. GitHub's server groups tools into toolsets you switch on one by one.[1] Conecto gives every area its own address, so an agent that only sends invoices loads only the invoice tools.[2]

## A working limit

Start with three to five servers per agent and read which tools it actually calls. Remove a server the agent never uses, and split very different jobs across two agents.
