Claude Code's Lazy-Loading MCP Cuts Context 85%
Claude Code's new lazy-loading Model Context Protocol reduces token usage by 85% through on-demand resource fetching, enabling developers to work with larger
Someone found that Claude Code now has lazy-loading MCP tools that cut context usage by 85% (77K down to 8.7K tokens).
Instead of loading every tool upfront, it searches for what it needs on-demand. Pretty huge for keeping sessions fast when working with tons of integrations.
New commands worth knowing:
/config search <term>- finds specific settings instantly/stats --filter <agent>- shows performance per agent- Custom keybindings in
.claude/keybindings.json
The custom agents feature is wild too - create specialists that Claude calls automatically. Each gets its own isolated context window, so a “database guy” agent won’t pollute your frontend work.
Session teleportation lets you move active sessions between terminal and claude.ai/code without losing state. Background tasks run agents in parallel instead of sequentially.
