Smart Context Mcp
If you're burning tokens on full file reads and massive grep results, this MCP gives you compressed alternatives. It indexes your codebase and exposes tools like smart_read (outline or focused chunks), smart_search (ranked, limited results), and smart_context (curated multi-file context). The real win is task checkpoints that persist between sessions so you don't re-explain the same context. Ships with workflow metrics showing 85-90% token reduction on debugging and refactoring tasks, though that requires multi-file work where you actually need the index. For single-file edits or when you already know what to touch, native tools are faster. Includes a reactive file watcher, semantic search via local embeddings, and declarative playbooks that chain multiple operations in one call.

smart-context-mcp
MCP server that reduces AI agent token usage by up to 90% through intelligent context compression (measured on this project).
What it is
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides specialized tools for reading, searching, and managing code context efficiently. Instead of loading full files or returning massive search results, it compresses information while preserving what matters for the task.
