Entroly

by juyterman1000 · juyterman1000/entroly

Local daemon that compresses your codebase to ~10% of its tokens with smart resolution — full detail for hot files, summaries for the rest.

Entroly indexes your repo, learns which files matter, and serves variable-resolution context to your coding agent. Same task, far fewer tokens. Runs locally; code never leaves your machine. Supports 65+ agents including Claude.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json  · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "entroly-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "entroly-wasm",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Restart after saving.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "entroly-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "entroly-wasm",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor uses the same mcpServers schema as Claude Desktop. Project config wins over global.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "entroly-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "entroly-wasm",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Click the MCP Servers icon in the Cline sidebar, then "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "entroly-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "entroly-wasm",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same shape as Claude Desktop. Restart Windsurf to pick up changes.

~/.continue/config.json
{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "entroly-mcp",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "entroly-wasm",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json
{
  "context_servers": {
    "entroly-mcp": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "entroly-wasm",
          "mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add entroly-mcp -- npx -y entroly-wasm mcp

One-liner. Verify with claude mcp list. Remove with claude mcp remove.

Use Cases

Real-world ways to use Entroly

Work in a large repo without exploding the bill

👤 Developers ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

When to use: Your repo is >50k LOC and direct context dumping blew past usable budget.

Flow
  1. Install
    entroly go in repo root✓ Copied
    → Daemon indexes
  2. Wire MCP
    Add entroly as an MCP server in Claude config.✓ Copied
    → Tools visible
  3. Code
    Ask Claude to work on a task — entroly chooses what to include.✓ Copied
    → Same task, 70-95% fewer tokens

Outcome: Same Claude experience at a fraction of the token cost.

Pitfalls
  • Important file missing from context — Whitelist it in entroly config
Combine with: lean-ctx-skill

Combinations

Pair with other MCPs for X10 leverage

entroly-mcp + lean-ctx-skill

Entroly chooses files; lean-ctx prunes them further

Combine entroly and lean-ctx for maximum token savings.✓ Copied
