Fittok MCP Server

Retrieve only the relevant source code for a question - instead of the model reading whole files - so an LLM answers codebase questions on a small, focused slice of context. Less input = fewer tokens, lower cost, faster answers. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Claude Code

claude mcp add likhithreddy-fittok -- uvx fittok

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "likhithreddy-fittok": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "fittok"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

What is Fittok?

Retrieve only the relevant source code for a question - instead of the model reading whole files - so an LLM answers codebase questions on a small, focused slice of context. Less input = fewer tokens, lower cost, faster answers. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

Is Fittok still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-24 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Fittok?

FITTOK_MAX_BUDGET is optional or environment-specific per the README. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Fittok run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
