ooples/token-optimizer-mcp

Overview

This tool reduces token consumption in Claude Code through caching, compression, and smart tool intelligence. It is implemented in TypeScript as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and claims up to 95% token reduction. The approach combines local caching of repeated context with compression strategies to minimize usage while preserving essential information.

Best for

Best for

Use cases

• Cutting token costs during extended Claude Code sessions
• Keeping context windows manageable when working with large codebases
• Speeding up Claude Code by reusing cached outputs for frequent queries

Pros

• High claimed token reduction (95%+) can lower costs significantly
• Combines multiple optimization techniques (caching, compression, tool intelligence)
• Open source with a strong community (403 stars on GitHub)

Cons

• Token reduction may compromise output accuracy or completeness in some scenarios
• Only works with Claude Code through the MCP protocol, not universal
• Requires configuration and may need tuning for different workloads
