Context-mode is an MCP server plugin that reduces context window usage by ~98% through sandboxed tool routing. MUST be applied whenever Claude is running inside a context-mode-enabled session — it is not optional. Trigger when: context-mode MCP server is present in the session; running Bash commands that produce more than 20 lines of output; reading files for analysis; fetching web pages and searching them; batch execution of multiple queries; or when you need to prevent raw tool outputs from…

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

# context-mode

Context-mode routes data-heavy tool calls through sandboxed MCP tools, preventing raw outputs from flooding the context window.
Applies automatically when context-mode MCP server is running in the session. Always enforced — do not skip.

---

## When Invoked
- Always active when context-mode MCP server is present in the session
- Detected automatically by the session environment
- No explicit user trigger needed — enforce at all times

---

## Tool Routing Rules

Route every tool call to its sandbox equivalent:

| Instead of | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bash commands (>20 lines output) | `batch_execute` or `ctx_execute` | Captures output, prevents context bloat |
| Read for analysis | `ctx_execute_file` | Raw content never enters context |
| WebFetch | `ctx_fetch_and_index` then `search` | Fetch, index, then query by search |
| Follow-up searches | `ctx_search` | Query indexed content on demand |
| Batch commands/queries | `ctx_batch_execute` | One call replaces many steps |

---

## Forbidden Patterns

- **NEVER use Bash** for commands producing >20 lines of output — use `ctx_execute` or `ctx_batch_execute`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tekkiiiii/the-agency/context-mode@sha256:7fc7d1e85432e671

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260508.9e8707b, 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.
