Tokenscope MCP Server
See what your AI-coding session actually cost - and what's eating your context. A local, read-only CLI that parses your Claude Code session logs and shows where the money goes: model output vs. context being re-sent every turn (the hidden 60%+ of most bills).
People who work with ai cost and token usage and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in HTML.
