How to Cut Your MCP Token Usage by 97% in 3 Minutes

Every MCP tool gets injected into your context window on every turn. 10 servers with 100+ tools? That's 40,000+ tokens gone before Claude even starts thinking about your question.

Here's how to fix it.

DeployStack Reduce Tokens

Step 1: Create an Account (30 seconds)

Go to cloud.deploystack.io and sign up with GitHub.

Step 2: Install an MCP Server (60 seconds)

  1. Click MCP Servers → Catalog
  2. Find a server you want (try GitHub and Notion)
  3. Click Install
  4. Add your API key if needed

The server is now ready. No npx commands. No JSON editing.

Step 3: Connect to the Satellite (60 seconds)

Add this to your Claude Code config (working also with VS Code and Cursor):

claude mcp add --transport http deploystack https://satellite.deploystack.io/mcp

When you first connect, your browser opens for OAuth authorization. Pick your team, authorize, and you're connected. The client handles the rest automatically.

That's It

You now have 2 tools instead of 100+:

  • `discover_mcp_tools` - finds what you need
  • `execute_mcp_tool` - runs it

Claude searches for tools when it needs them instead of having everything loaded upfront.

Before: 40,000 tokens consumed at startup After: ~1,400 tokens

Add more MCP servers from the catalog. The token count stays the same.
