Fittok MCP Server
Retrieve only the relevant source code for a question - instead of the model reading whole files - so an LLM answers codebase questions on a small, focused slice of context. Less input = fewer tokens, lower cost, faster answers. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with Fittok and Anthropic and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Claude Code
claude mcp add likhithreddy-fittok -- uvx fittok Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"likhithreddy-fittok": {

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
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package fittok - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.likhithreddy is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Fittok FAQ
What is Fittok?
Retrieve only the relevant source code for a question - instead of the model reading whole files - so an LLM answers codebase questions on a small, focused slice of context. Less input = fewer tokens, lower cost, faster answers. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Fittok still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-08-24 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Fittok?
Run `uvx fittok`. The README documents 3 environment variables (FITTOK_MAX_BUDGET, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY) to set first. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY before connecting. FITTOK_MAX_BUDGET is optional or environment-specific per the README. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Fittok run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
