Context Mode
The other half of the context problem.
Every MCP tool call in Claude Code dumps raw data into your 200K context window. A Playwright snapshot costs 56 KB. Twenty GitHub issues cost 59 KB. One access log — 45 KB. After 30 minutes, 40% of your context is gone.
Inspired by Cloudflare's Code Mode — which compresses tool definitions from millions of tokens into ~1,000 — we asked: what about the other direction?
Context Mode is an MCP server that sits between Claude Code and these outputs. 315 KB becomes 5.4 KB. 98% reduction.
