Agent Booster tools (6)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
expand_callsReturn immediate callers or callees of a symbol. Name-based resolution (~70% accuracy on Python).
get_symbolsReturn all indexed symbols for a given file path.
route_modelRecommend the right model tier (haiku/sonnet/opus) for a task based on complexity signals.
search_contextKeyword search across all indexed symbols. Returns top 10 matches. Pass 'since' (e.g. 'HEAD~5', 'main', SHA) to restrict to recently-changed symbols.
smart_readReturn only the relevant slice of a file based on a task description. Pass 'since' to filter to symbols modified after a git ref.
test_coverageReturn test references for a symbol. Requires `booster index --tests` to populate the test index.

Agent Booster
Cut AI coding agent token costs 5–15x by routing only the code that matters.
Instead of sending full source files to the model on every read, Agent Booster builds a symbol index of your codebase and returns only the functions and classes relevant to the current task.

Installation
Requires Python 3.10+.
pip install agent-booster # symbol index + MCP tools
pip install agent-booster[embed] # + semantic vector search (recommended)Quickstart
Step 1 — Wire up your AI tool
booster init claude # Claude Code
booster init cursor # Cursor
booster init windsurf # Windsurf
booster init codex # OpenAI Codex CLI
booster init all # all fourEach command shows exactly what files will change, asks for confirmation, then writes them. Fully reversible:
booster remove claude # or cursor, windsurf, codex, allExample — wiring up OpenAI Codex (booster init codex → booster start → booster gain):
Run once per project, not once per session.
The hooks live in .claude/settings.json and .mcp.json at the project root.
Every Claude Code session opened in this directory — any terminal window, same machine — picks them up automatically.
No per-session setup needed.
Step 2 — Index your codebase
Run once from your project root. Re-run after large refactors.
booster index && booster embed
# Indexed 260 files, 1800 symbols.
# Built embeddings for 1800 symbols.The index is stored at .booster/ (gitignored). The index is shared across all sessions.
Step 3 — Restart your AI tool
The agent-booster MCP server is now available in every session. Claude Code (and other tools) will use smartread and searchcontext automatically on indexed files.
Step 4 — Track savings
booster gainCLI reference
booster init
Writes the MCP server config and rules file for the target platform. Asks for confirmation before making any changes.
booster init claude # .mcp.json + CLAUDE.md + .claude/settings.json hook
booster init cursor # .cursor/mcp.json + .cursorrules
booster init windsurf # ~/.windsurf/mcp.json + .windsurfrules
booster init codex # ~/.codex/config.json + AGENTS.md
booster init all # all four
booster init claude --yes # skip confirmation (CI/scripts)booster remove
Cleanly undoes everything init wrote. No residue.
booster remove claude
booster remove cursor
booster remove windsurf
booster remove codex

Agent Booster: common questions
- Is Agent Booster MCP server safe?
- Yes, by our scan: it is graded A (88/100). Read the Agent Booster safety report
- How do I install Agent Booster?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Agent Booster need an API key?
- Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
- Is Agent Booster maintained?
- The last commit was 116 days ago (2026-07-11). The latest release is v0.6.4.
- What can I use instead of Agent Booster?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: llmtrim MCP server, Basic Memory MCP server and Commonly MCP server.
- How does Agent Booster compare with other AI and agents MCP servers?
- safety score 88/100 (higher than 80% of 4,460 AI and agents servers); tools 6 (the typical AI and agents server has 6); tools that change things 0% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
