About the project
A local library, proxy and MCP server that compress tool outputs, logs, files and RAG chunks before they reach the LLM, cutting token usage without changing answers.
Useful for
- Wrap Claude Code or Cursor with headroom wrap to cut token usage in a session
- Run headroom proxy and route any app's requests through it without code changes
- Compress large JSON outputs from MCP servers via compress() in Python or TypeScript

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
