A code compression tool that strips down source files to their semantic essentials before feeding them to LLMs. The transformation claims 60-95% size reduction, which matters when you're bumping against context limits while working with large codebases. You'd reach for this when you need to fit more files into a single prompt or when you're doing repository-wide analysis and can't afford to send full source. The server runs over stdio, so it slots into standard MCP workflows. The tradeoff is obvious: you lose formatting, comments, and some verbosity in exchange for cramming more actual code logic into your available tokens.
