MCP server + Claude Code plugin that keeps raw tool output out of the context window: sandbox tools cut payloads by ~98% (315 KB to 5.4 KB), session events are indexed in SQLite/FTS5 for continuity across compaction, and a think-in-code pattern replaces bulk file reads with executed scripts. Supports 17 clients including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
