headroom vs ogham-mcp
headroom: Headroom compresses everything your AI agent reads — tool outputs, logs, RAG chunks, files, and conversation history — before it reaches the LLM. It achieves the same answers with a fraction of the tokens.; ogham-mcp: Ogham MCP is a persistent, searchable shared memory system for AI coding agents that works across different clients and sessions. It stores memories as vector embeddings in PostgreSQL, enabling hybrid search combining semantic and full-text retrieval with high accuracy. Ogham supports multiple embedding providers, knowledge graph traversal, wiki compilation, and automatic memory management features like scoring, condensing, and novelty detection.
TL;DR
- Long tool output, logs, JSON responses or RAG chunks are driving up cost or hurting answers.
- You want compression without code changes: run it as a local proxy, an MCP server, or by wrapping Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
- Compression must run locally, with originals cached so the model can retrieve the full text.
- Your agent's problem is missing or outdated docs, not too much context: a docs server fits better.
- You cannot add a component that must keep running and may add latency.
- Your tasks cannot tolerate lossy compression: verify answer quality on your own work first.
