Tip: Use Claude Code's New Plugin Context Cost Projections to Budget Token Spend Before Enabling MCP Servers
Releasebot·medium signal
Claude Code v2.1.143's plugin marketplace now shows projected per-turn and per-invocation token cost estimates for each MCP server plugin. Use this to make informed decisions about which plugins to enable in context-constrained sessions — a high-cost plugin that adds 2K tokens per turn may not be worth enabling for a quick bug fix but essential for a complex architecture task. Check /plugin marketplace before starting sessions to optimize context budget.
