What the research found

A user asks whether a lazy-loading layer exists so many always-relevant MCP servers do not consume 56% of context at session start; the post is a question with no answer or tool named, so only the problem is confirmed.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

  1. A new Claude Code session starts with 56% of the context window already used by MCP servers 95%
  2. The user has many MCP servers that are all relevant to daily work 99%
  3. A per-MCP lazy loading layer exists for Claude Code (jev unsupported, post names no tool) 11%

Evidence

Actionability rated low.
