CLIO Compression

Overview

CLIO Compression is a Model Context Protocol server that brings compression capabilities to AI assistants as native tools. By implementing MCP, it integrates seamlessly into your AI workflow, letting models invoke compression functions directly on your behalf.

The server runs locally on your machine through the clio-kit Python package, installed via uvx clio-compression. No authentication is required—it communicates over stdio and works immediately after installation. Version v2.2.3 is available under the BSD-3-Clause license, with full source code maintained at iowarp/clio-kit on GitHub, where the project has gathered 26 stars.

CLIO Compression belongs in the AI & Agents category and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP-compatible clients. Maintainers from iowarp are welcome to claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
