34Don't install everything

The temptation is obvious: thousands of servers, all interesting, why not connect a pile. Don't.

Every connected server adds its own description to the AI's memory. Ten servers means dozens of tools, each with a description, all sitting in context before you've asked a single question. The room runs out faster, and less of what's in there is useful.

The second problem is confusion. Different servers have similar-sounding commands. With many of them the AI starts picking the wrong tool, and you sit there wondering why it went somewhere strange.

The working number is three to six. That covers everything and nothing drags.

The rule is simple: connect one when you have a concrete need. Not "just in case" but "I need it to look into my database". No task, no server.
