How to Dynamically load MCP in Claude Code to reduce token usage
In general, using MCP consumes lot of context window because all the tool metadata gets to sent to an LLM during every interaction.
Claude Code has come up with a way to dynamically load the MCP tool if needed.
This feature is currently not officially documented. And mostly a beta feature.
How to enable it?
Just set ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH to true
You can also set it in ~/.claude/settings.json under env object as well.
And just use claude command.
You can also check the token usage using /context command to see the token usage before and after as well.
