About the project

Headroom is a library, proxy, and MCP server that compresses tool outputs, logs, files, retrieval chunks, and conversation history before they reach a language model. It helps coding agents use fewer context tokens while keeping the original content available locally when needed. Its catalogue add-ons support using Headroom with agent workflows.
