# AI Token Optimizer

> An MCP server that cuts AI coding-agent token usage by **60–80%** via framework-aware context optimization.

AI coding agents read whole files when they need 15 lines. They load `*.g.dart`,
`R.java`, `node_modules/`, and `dist/` into context — then do it again next turn.
**AI Token Optimizer** is a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)
server that intercepts those tool calls and strips framework noise _before_ it
reaches the model.

Works with anything that speaks MCP: **Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Zed,
JetBrains AI, GitHub Copilot agent mode, Antigravity, Windsurf, OpenAI Codex CLI.**

## Quickstart

```bash
npm install -g @ai-optimizer/core
```

Then point your agent at the `ai-optimizer` stdio server. For Claude Code, add to
`~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-optimizer": {
      "command": "ai-optimizer"
    }
  }
}
```

Or scaffold the config and preview your savings automatically:

```bash
npx @ai-optimizer/init
# "we'd skip 47 files, ~14K tokens/session, ~$0.42/session at Sonnet pricing"
```

Full per-agent setup (Cursor, others), LSP install, and verification steps live in
[`packages/core/README.md`](https://github.com/shivam-app-developers/ai-optimizer/blob/HEAD/packages/core/README.md).

## What it does

It registers tools the agent uses **instead of** its built-in file/dir/error reads:

| Tool                    | What it saves                                                      |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `optimized_read_file`   | Framework-aware skip + optional line slice                         |
| `optimized_list_files`  | Walks the tree applying ignore globs (+ `.gitignore`)              |
| `optimized_grep`        | Content search scoped by ignore filters                            |
| `optimized_diagnostics` | Spawns the right LSP, returns errors + a narrow code window        |
| `read_symbol`           | LSP `workspace/symbol` slice instead of a full-file read (Pro/LSP) |
| `strip_bash_noise`      | Strips ANSI, npm/maven/gradle progress, JVM warnings               |
| `optimizer_status`      | Detected frameworks, active packs, cumulative tokens saved         |

When a project type is detected (e.g. Python via `pyproject.toml`), the matching
pack's ignore rules activate automatically. `.gitignore` is respected on top.

See [`PRICING.md`](https://github.com/shivam-app-developers/ai-optimizer/blob/HEAD/PRICING.md). Behavior-changing or data-sharing features
(scheduler, work-stealing, telemetry) are **off by default** and require explicit
opt-in. Display-only features (dollar-value savings) default on.
