subagent-reuse MCP: stop Claude Code subagents re-reading the same files

Show HN: `npx subagent-reuse --setup` adds an MCP that scans ~/.claude/projects/, builds SHA-256 Merkle trees of files each subagent already read/modified, and route_task decides REUSE vs CREATE_NEW before spawn—structural overlap only, no embeddings; ~1k LOC JS + 52 tests.

Prompt excerpt

Install with npx subagent-reuse --setup, then ask Claude Code to plan→implement→fix with subagents and confirm route_task reuses the explorer that already read auth files.

CtxWise: MCP schema tree-shaker and context firewall

Local-first Apache-2.0 CLI for Claude Code/Codex/Cursor: mcp-xray ranks bloated tool schemas, sync compresses CLAUDE.md↔AGENTS.md↔Cursor rules, and shield fails CI on leaked keys/prompt-injection/Trojan Unicode—claims large cuts in model-visible prompt size without API calls.

Lighting: drive real Windows browser/apps as text refs (~97% fewer tokens)

Lighting (MIT, Windows) exposes your real logged-in browser and desktop apps to Claude Code / Codex plugins or any MCP client as compact text element refs instead of screenshots — claimed ~440 tokens for a page look vs ~15,850 with screenshots (~97% less), one-line click results (~13–53 tokens). Self-learning routines; 135/135 selftest badge on the repo. Alternative to vision-heavy computer-use loops when you already have local logins.

mcp-router: search+lazy MCP proxy that actually cut tokens

Open-source mcp-router sits between Claude Code and many MCP servers: find_tools / call_tool / run_script stand in for hundreds of tools; on a 441-tool fleet vs six other proxies it finished 6/6 tasks at −29% tokens while peers often used more tokens or failed—Show HN + public BENCHMARK.md.
