A developer discovered that their Claude Code setup was consuming an excessive amount of tokens due to the way MCP servers were configured, leading to conversations prematurely ending and reduced model performance. By auditing and removing unused MCP servers, and then compressing the schemas of the remaining ones using a tool called mcptoon, the developer significantly reduced token overhead. This issue appears to be widespread among users with multiple MCP servers, impacting model efficiency and conversation quality. AI
