People who work with caching, compression and token optimization and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

01 · Install Token Optimizer MCP
Claude Code
claude mcp add ooples-token-optimizer-mcp -- npx -y @ooples/token-optimizer-mcp Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"ooples-token-optimizer-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@ooples/token-optimizer-mcp"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
