Budget-aware orchestration with Headroom. Use before spawning agents, dispatching bulk work, or choosing which subscription or local model runs a task. Headroom answers what each account and meter can afford right now; it never decides which model is best for the task.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Headroom: know your budget before you spend it Headroom reports remaining capacity per meter (account × limit family), with reset times, pace states and freshness. Capability routing stays yours, in `~/.headroom/routing.toml`. ## Setting Headroom up When installed as a Claude Code plugin, the MCP server and per-prompt quota line are already registered. Skip manual MCP and hook registration. When the user asks to set up, install or configure Headroom, run these in order and stop at the first one that fails, showing its output: 1. `headroom version`; if the command is missing, `npm install -g headroomd` (Node 22.13 or newer). If the user agrees, run `headroom setup --yes --skip-mcp` to do accounts discovery, doctor and the background service install in one pass -- it answers yes to each of those on its own and shows its output. 2. Register the MCP server in the agent that will use it, for example `claude mcp add --scope user headroom -- headroom mcp`, and confirm with a `quota_status` call. 3. `headroom doctor` once more; every non-OK line names the next command. 4. Show `headroom --json` or `headroom --agent` once and explain the pace state on each row. …

How to install
mdr add apertur3/headroom/headroom@sha256:5834a66e7733aa43The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.d8c9c9e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
