Data & context

Headroom

Content-aware compression with local retrieval of the original material.

73,841 stars

Overview

Research summary

Headroom can run as a library, local proxy, agent wrapper or MCP server. It selects compression approaches by content type and retains originals for retrieval when needed. The project also includes memory and output-shaping features. Token savings and answer quality depend on the payload and configuration; repository benchmark claims are not universal guarantees.
