Restart Claude Code, open /mcp, and authenticate pctx-admin.

Create a remote HTTP MCP connection named pctx-admin at https://admin.mcp.pctx.ai/mcp, then complete OAuth sign-in.

Ask it where your tokens go

The admin MCP can report on usage as well as change settings. Start with a question that only reads:

Prompt

Using pctx-admin, how many tokens did code mode keep out of our agents' context windows in the last 14 days, compared with calling the same tools directly? Then list our busiest servers that are not in code mode yet. Do not change anything.

Token counts for gateway traffic are estimated from the size of each response. They are not billing figures, because the model that reads them is yours.

Ask before it changes anything

Admin tools change the workspace for everyone. Ask the agent to show its proposed changes before it enables services, changes policies, or deletes anything.
