Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Context window token analysis and budget management

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Accounting, finance & tax

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "token-lens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "token-lens-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add token-lens -- npx -y token-lens-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "token-lens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "token-lens-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "token-lens": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "token-lens-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Common questions

Is Token Lens safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

token-lens-mcp

MCP server for analyzing and optimizing context window token usage. MCP tool definitions consume 40-72% of context windows before any user work begins — this server helps you measure, compress, and eliminate that waste.

Install

npx token-lens-mcp
Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "token-lens": { "command": "npx", "args": ["token-lens-mcp"] } } }

Claude Code
claude mcp add token-lens -- npx token-lens-mcp

Tools

audit_context_budget

Analyze the token cost of your MCP tool definitions. Estimates tokens per tool using chars/4 approximation on the full JSON definition.

Params:

  • tools — Array of {name, description, schema} objects

Returns: Per-tool token cost (sorted by cost), total tokens, percentage of 128K/200K/1M context windows.

optimize_tool_loading

Given a task description, recommend the minimal set of tools needed. Uses keyword matching and category relevance scoring.

Params:

  • task_description — What you're trying to accomplish
  • available_tools — Array of {name, description, category?}

Returns: Recommended tools sorted by relevance, excluded tools, estimated tokens saved.

compress_schema

Compress verbose tool schemas to reduce token usage.

Params:

  • tool_name — Name of the tool
  • schema — JSON Schema object to compress
  • level — "light" | "medium" | "aggressive"

Levels:

  • light — Remove descriptions under 20 chars
  • medium — Shorten descriptions to 50 chars, remove examples
  • aggressive — Strip all descriptions, keep only types and required fields

Returns: Compressed schema, original/compressed token counts, savings percentage.

analyze_session_usage

Track which tools are actually called vs loaded during a session.

Params:

  • session_id — Unique session identifier
  • action — "register_tool" | "log_call" | "report"
  • tool_name — Tool name (required for register_tool/log_call)
  • tool_tokens — Token cost (for register_tool, default 50)

Report returns: Loaded vs used counts, waste percentage, unused tools ranked by token cost.

suggest_removals

Identify tools that can be safely removed based on usage patterns.

Params:

  • usage_history — Array of {tool_name, call_count, last_used_days_ago}

Scoring: never_used (priority 3) > not_used_30_days (priority 2) > rarely_used (priority 1)

Returns: Removal candidates with reasons and estimated token savings.

get_optimization_report

Full context window health check combining audit, removal suggestions, and compression recommendations.

Params:

  • tools — Array of tool definitions
  • usage_history — Optional usage history array

Returns: Executive summary with health grade (excellent/good/fair/poor), audit results, removal suggestions, compression opportunities, and actionable recommendations.
