MCP token optimization, Code-Mode and tool selection. Use when MCP servers dominate token consumption, or for tool optimization and deciding which servers to leave enabled.

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

# MCP Optimization Skill

When the user asks about MCP optimization, tool selection, or Code-Mode:

1. Read `docs/skills/mcp-optimization.md`
2. Provide guidance on MCP selection and optimization
3. Explain Code-Mode benefits (60% token savings)
4. Reference `MCP_TOKEN_AUDIT_CHECKLIST.md` for practical steps

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cooneycw/claude-power-pack/mcp-optimization@sha256:9dd5093ced6c4d28

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.677b300, 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.
