Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server that cuts AI coding agent token usage via framework-aware context optimization

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: Other
  • You need to fill in: AI_OPTIMIZER_LICENSE

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).
  • You fill in yourself: AI_OPTIMIZER_LICENSE, AI_OPTIMIZER_LSP, AI_OPTIMIZER_TELEMETRY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

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": {
    "ai-optimizer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ai-optimizer/core"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AI_OPTIMIZER_LICENSE": "your-value",
        "AI_OPTIMIZER_LSP": "your-value",
        "AI_OPTIMIZER_TELEMETRY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add ai-optimizer --env AI_OPTIMIZER_LICENSE=your-value --env AI_OPTIMIZER_LSP=your-value --env AI_OPTIMIZER_TELEMETRY=your-value -- npx -y @ai-optimizer/core

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-optimizer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ai-optimizer/core"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AI_OPTIMIZER_LICENSE": "your-value",
        "AI_OPTIMIZER_LSP": "your-value",
        "AI_OPTIMIZER_TELEMETRY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "ai-optimizer": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ai-optimizer/core"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AI_OPTIMIZER_LICENSE": "your-value",
        "AI_OPTIMIZER_LSP": "your-value",
        "AI_OPTIMIZER_TELEMETRY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

Values you fill in

  • AI_OPTIMIZER_LICENSE secret env
    Ed25519 JWT license key. Unlocks Pro/Team packs; free tier needs no key.
  • AI_OPTIMIZER_LSP env
    Set to 0 to disable the LSP bridge (optimized_diagnostics).
  • AI_OPTIMIZER_TELEMETRY env
    Set to 'on' to enable anonymous opt-in telemetry. Off by default.

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

Common questions

Is AI Optimizer 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?

You need to fill in: AI_OPTIMIZER_LICENSE

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 (0.1.0) reached the registry 5 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.

What can I use instead?

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 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

npm install -g @ai-optimizer/core

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

{

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

Or scaffold the config and preview your savings automatically:

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.

What it does

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

ToolWhat it saves
optimized_read_fileFramework-aware skip + optional line slice
optimized_list_filesWalks the tree applying ignore globs (+ .gitignore)
optimized_grepContent search scoped by ignore filters
optimized_diagnosticsSpawns the right LSP, returns errors + a narrow code window
read_symbolLSP workspace/symbol slice instead of a full-file read (Pro/LSP)
strip_bash_noiseStrips ANSI, npm/maven/gradle progress, JVM warnings
optimizer_statusDetected 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.
