token-gate-mcp

Overview

token-gate-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that manages token and context budgets for AI agents. It tracks spending and gates sessions to help you control resource consumption, letting AI assistants call these capabilities as tools rather than requiring manual data transfer between applications.

The server runs locally on your machine via the npm package token-gate-mcp, which communicates over stdio. It requires no credentials and works out of the box. The latest release is v0.1.3, installed with npx -y token-gate-mcp.

token-gate-mcp belongs in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with all MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information current.
