A curated list on AI token economics: what tokens cost, where they get wasted, and how to cut the bill. Tools, benchmarks, papers, and copy-paste configs for the token economy of LLMs and coding agents.

Token telemetry dashboard for AI autonomous and coding agents — tracks tokens, sessions, tool calls & reasoning across Hermes agent, Claude Code, Antigravity CLI, Codex & more. 100% local.

Native Liquid Glass AI token tracker for macOS. Breakdown into sessions/models/tools.

AI token usage & quota monitor for the macOS menu bar — native Swift, Liquid Glass, 3D contribution graph. Tracks Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode & 25+ agents locally.

Measure token savings per AI coding agent, optimize context, and share a live local knowledge graph across 16 CLI clients.

Local-first AI token usage & cost tracker for 31 coding tools incl. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini & DeepSeek Harness—with native apps. Never reads prompts.

Local AI API gateway for OpenAI / Gemini / Anthropic. Runs on your machine, keeps tokens counted (SQLite), offers priority-based load balancing, optional OpenAI Chat↔Responses format conversion, and one-click setup for Claude Code / Codex.

🪨 why use many token when few token do trick — Claude Code skill that cuts 65% of tokens by talking like caveman

Ultra-fast token & cost tracker for LLM Token Usage (e.g. Claude Code)

Save tokens. Maximize context, Safely

🛰️ Track token usage across AI coding agents from your terminal. 🏅 Global leaderboard with trillions of tokens tracked.

Compress tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they reach the LLM. 20% fewer tokens for coding agents, 60-95% fewer tokens for JSON, same answers. Library, proxy, MCP server.

LeanKG: Stop Burning Tokens. Start Coding Lean.

Token-efficient MCP server for tabular data retrieval. Index CSV/Excel files, query rows, aggregate — 99%+ token savings vs raw file reads.

Agent token and task monitoring, thousands of pet avatars, cross-platform support, and compatibility with popular AI agents. 一眼查看 Token 与任务状态，海量 Petdex 形象可选，支持 Windows/macOS/Linux、ESP/Wio Terminal，兼容 Cursor、Codex、Claude、Windsurf 等主流 Agent。

Every file not opened. Every folder not explored. Tokens saved. ProjectAtlas guides coding agents with purpose metadata and an intelligent code graph, reducing token costs by over 90%.

Cut AI token costs 95%+ on code exploration. The leading MCP server for precise, symbol-level GitHub code retrieval via tree-sitter AST. Works with Claude Code, Cursor & any MCP client. 313B+ tokens saved.

Token usage tracker for (not only) OpenCode

CLI proxy that reduces LLM token consumption by 60-90% on common dev commands. Single Rust binary, zero dependencies

MCP tool lists eat 71,929 tokens at 255 tools — more than half a 128K window before you ask anything. mcptoon reads the same tools back at 581 (-99.2%, measured). 128KB CLI, zero deps. Compute your own: activeing123.github.io/mcptoon/tools/token-tax

Portable project memory across Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode, plus token accounting measured from harness transcripts. Local file I/O, no API calls, no telemetry.

MCP-native code retrieval for AI agents — 84-88% fewer read tokens, BM25F + semantic search, AST chunks, session dedup

CLI proxy that reduces LLM token usage by 60-90%. Declarative YAML filters for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini. rtk alternative in Go.

Free, local tool to track AI coding token usage and cost across 37 tools and agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini and more), by model, project, and task. npx codeburn
