PATK Server

Compress noisy terminal output before it fills Claude's context. npm install, docker build, pytest — filtered down to what actually matters.

---

Why PATK?

Long coding sessions fill Claude's context with terminal noise. Each npm install dumps 150–200 lines of deprecation warnings and progress bars. That's ~10,000 tokens of pure noise per session — eating into your context window.

PATK filters that noise before Claude ever sees it.

Real benchmark (5-command session, Haiku API):

Command	Lines Before	Lines After	Reduction
npm install	52	6	80%
pip install -r requirements.txt	42	10	77%
docker build .	35	15	57%
pytest -v	30	21	30%
Session total	8,380 tokens	3,829 tokens	54% ↓

Real Haiku API benchmark. No spin — actual measured values.

What this means:

• Context fills up 2× slower in long sessions
• Claude's summarization is delayed → longer memory of early session details
• At CI/CD scale: meaningful API cost reduction

Works in Sub-Agents Too

Sub-agents (Task tool, Explore agents, parallel agents) have their own isolated context and their own separate API costs. PATK installed once works everywhere:

• Main agent context: protected
• Sub-agent context: also protected (independently)
• n8n pipelines: filter between nodes to halve accumulated data

Add to your Task tool prompts: "Use patk_safe_execute for all bash commands producing > 15 lines output"

Installation

1. Get your free API key

🔜 API keys not yet live. Watch this repo or open an issue to get notified when pfc-token-killer.com launches — 200 free credits, no payment required.

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Add to Claude Code MCP config

Claude Code (~/.claude.json or project .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patk": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "PATK_API_KEY": "ptk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or via CLI:

PATK_API_KEY=ptk_your_key_here claude mcp add patk python /path/to/server.py

That's it. No configuration. No extra dependencies beyond requirements.txt.

Tools

Tool	When to use
patk_safe_execute	PRIMARY — Run command + filter in one step. Raw output never enters Claude's context.
patk_filter_output	Filter already-captured terminal output (Bash tool fallback)
patk_check_credits	Check remaining API credits
patk_status	Show configuration and session statistics

Example: patk_safe_execute

patk_safe_execute(command="npm install", max_lines=50)

→ npm install  [✅ Exit 0]

Filter Pipeline

1. ANSI removal — Strip colors, cursor codes
2. Progress bar detection — Remove [=====> ] 47%, ━━━━━━ 100%, download bars
3. Pattern condensation — Group similar lines: [10× npm warn deprecated], [15× pip Collecting/Downloading]
4. Duplicate compression — Identical lines → single summary
5. Timestamp clusters — 20 timestamp log lines → 1 summary
6. Entropy scoring — Remove low-information lines; always keep errors/warnings

---

Compatibility

Works with any MCP-compatible client:

• Claude Code (primary target)
• Cursor
• Cline
• Windsurf
• Any client supporting the MCP protocol
