CompactPrompt

Overview

CompactPrompt is a Model Context Protocol server that reviews and compacts prompts, documentation, and AI-agent skills while preserving their structure, helping you save tokens in your LLM workflows. By running as an MCP server, it becomes a set of callable tools available directly within Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other AI assistants, eliminating the need to copy and paste between applications.

CompactPrompt runs locally on your machine using the Python package compactprompt, installed via uvx compactprompt. It communicates with MCP clients over stdio and requires no credentials to get started. The latest release is v0.5.2, distributed under the MIT license with source code available at gtkcyber/compact_prompt on GitHub.

CompactPrompt is listed in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, claim the listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
