MCP Compress Overview

ShipItAndPray/mcp-compress MCP server gives MCP-compatible agents tools for lossless compression, decompression, analysis, and compressed disk storage. It compares gzip, Brotli, and deflate when using automatic selection, returning base64 data and compression metrics. Reach for it when an agent needs to reduce the size of text, JSON, CSV, or stored research data before reuse. The server runs locally over MCP stdio with Node.js and does not require external dependencies.
