Densely MCP Server

Lossless context compression for LLMs. Pack any text into 2x–8x fewer tokens with guaranteed byte-exact reconstruction - verified by sha256 on every decompress. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with compression, context window and prompt engineering and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Densely

Claude Code

claude mcp add alibaizhanov-densely -- uvx densely

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alibaizhanov-densely": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "densely"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-08-07 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package densely - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.alibaizhanov is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
