ctx-wire

Compresses noisy shell and MCP output before it reaches an AI coding agent, cutting token spend.

Pluginfreeglobal

ctx-wire is a free, open-source tool that sits between an AI coding agent and the shell, compressing noisy command output with declarative filters and scrubbing secrets before the agent sees it, while keeping the full log on disk for debugging failures. It works across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and several other agents, and reports exactly how many tokens were saved per program and per agent. It's built for developers who want to cut AI coding agent token costs from noisy shell and MCP output without losing the ability to debug a failure.
