contextforge-mcp
Orchestrates codebase indexing, token compression, and spec-driven development into a single MCP pipeline for AI coding agents.
README
contextforge-mcp
MCP compression middleware that connects codebase-memory-mcp + headroom + Spec Kit into a unified, token-efficient workflow.
Architecture
Claude Code
├── codebase-memory-mcp ← graph queries (cbm_* tools)
│ │
│ └── large result
│ │
└── contextforge-mcp ← YOU ARE HERE
│
cf_compress_cbm(result, tool_name)
│
└── compressed result (60-95% fewer tokens)
ContextForge does NOT proxy codebase-memory-mcp — both servers run independently. The agent calls CBM for graph queries, then passes results through ContextForge for compression. This design is reliable, cross-platform, and works with any MCP client.
Install
npm install -g codebase-memory-mcp
pip install "headroom-ai[all]"
pip install contextforge-mcp
Setup
# Health check
contextforge-mcp doctor
# Configure Claude Code (writes .mcp.json with both servers)
contextforge-mcp install --target claude
Workflow
# 1. Query the graph (via codebase-memory-mcp)
result = cbm_search_graph(name_pattern=".*Payment.*", label="Function")
# 2. Compress the result (via contextforge-mcp)
compressed = cf_compress_cbm(result=result, tool_name="search_graph")
# → [ContextForge ✓ search_graph: 8420→612 tokens (93% saved in 45ms)]
# 3. Use compressed result in your context
# 4. Check savings

## ContextForge MCP — Compression Workflow
After EVERY codebase-memory-mcp tool call that returns a large result,
immediately call cf_compress_cbm(result, tool_name) to compress it.
| CBM Query | Then compress with |
|-----------|-------------------|
| cbm_search_graph(…) | cf_compress_cbm(result, "search_graph") |
| cbm_get_architecture() | cf_compress_cbm(result, "get_architecture") |
| cbm_search_code(…) | cf_compress_cbm(result, "search_code") |
| cbm_trace_path(…) | cf_compress_cbm(result, "trace_path") |
| cbm_get_impact(…) | cf_compress_cbm(result, "get_impact") |
Call cf_stats() at end of session to measure total savings.
