Install

"mcpServers": {
"caveman": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/caveman-core-mcp/src/index.js"]
}
}
}
Or with npx after publishing:
{

}
}
Usage
Inject via prompt (recommended)
Use the caveman prompt at session start. The host sends the ruleset as context and the LLM adopts compressed mode for the rest of the session.
Inject via resource
Read caveman://rules and include the text in your system prompt manually.
Post-process text
Call the compress_text tool to strip filler from any already-generated text.
{
"name": "compress_text",
"arguments": {
"text": "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by a missing semicolon."
}
}
Returns:
{
"content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "Issue caused by missing semicolon." }],
"_meta": { "before": 95, "after": 35, "savedPercent": 63 }
}
Requirements
- Node.js >= 18
- No npm dependencies
