About OrbitalMCP

What is OrbitalMCP?

OrbitalMCP is the AI Token Optimizer for all developers. We provide automatic 20-25% token savings through the built-in AI chat interface, seamless MCP server management across all your machines, and 50+ ready-to-use automation workflows - works with multiple AI providers including Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and OpenRouter.

The Problems We Solve for AI Developers

Problem 1: AI API costs add up fast. Heavy users of AI services can spend $100-300/month on API fees. Every prompt costs money, and longer prompts cost more across all services.

Problem 2: MCP configuration is tedious. Setting up MCP servers on every machine, keeping them in sync, and managing credentials is painful. Switch computers and you have to reconfigure everything manually.

Problem 3: Building workflows from scratch is slow. Every team reinvents the same automation patterns instead of using proven, battle-tested templates.

Our Solution

Install the OrbitalMCP VS Code extension once. It automatically solves all three problems:

  • AI token compression: Our built-in AI chat compresses every message before sending to your configured AI provider, saving you 20-25% on AI costs with zero manual effort.
  • Cross-machine MCP sync: Configure your MCP servers once on OrbitalMCP.com, access them from any machine. Your entire AI development setup follows you automatically.
  • 50+ ready-to-use workflows: Skip the setup with professionally crafted toolchain templates for security audits, bug triage, database migrations, DevOps automation, and more.

💡 Technical Deep Dive: AI Token Optimizer

Our AI Token Optimizer provides cost reduction through the built-in AI chat interface. Here's how it works:

Architecture

The optimizer uses an intelligent compression system built into the OrbitalMCP AI Chat window:

  • User sends message through the OrbitalMCP AI Chat interface
  • Message is sent to our token-shrinker optimization engine
  • Receives the compressed version maintaining full semantic meaning
  • Forwards the optimized message to your configured AI provider (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or OpenRouter)
  • Processing time: <50ms per request across all providers

Compression Techniques

  • Redundancy removal: Eliminates repetitive phrases and filler words
  • Semantic preservation: Maintains full meaning with 98%+ accuracy
  • Context-aware compression: Preserves critical technical details and code
  • Intelligent abbreviation: Shortens verbose explanations without losing clarity

How Multi-Provider Optimization Works

The AI Token Optimizer works through the OrbitalMCP AI Chat window in the VS Code sidebar. Select your preferred AI provider (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or OpenRouter), and every message is automatically compressed before being sent. This consistent approach delivers reliable 20-25% token savings across all supported providers.

Getting Started

The OrbitalMCP AI Chat window is available immediately when you install the OrbitalMCP VS Code extension. Simply:

  1. Open the OrbitalMCP sidebar in VS Code
  2. Select your AI provider from the dropdown
  3. Enter your AI provider's API key when prompted
  4. Start chatting - optimization happens automatically!

Toolchains: Multi-Step AI Workflows

Toolchains let you create sophisticated multi-step workflows that your AI assistant can execute as a single operation. Instead of manually coordinating multiple tool calls, you define a sequence once and reuse it in every AI session.

How Toolchains Work

Build your toolchains on orbitalmcp.com, and they automatically become available through the OrbitalMCP extension. Each chain appears as a single tool that your AI can invoke with one command.

Real-World Examples

Code Review Workflow:
Chain together: Git Diff → Code Analysis → Style Checker → Documentation Generator → GitHub Issue Creator. Your AI agent can now perform a complete code review with a single command.

API Development Pipeline:
Sequence: Database Schema Reader → OpenAPI Generator → Test Case Creator → Documentation Builder. Turn database changes into fully documented API endpoints automatically.

Deployment Workflow:
Combine: Test Runner → Build System → Docker Image Creator → Cloud Deployer → Slack Notifier. Deploy with confidence using a single, reproducible chain.

Bug Investigation Chain:
Link: Log Analyzer → Error Pattern Detector → Stack Trace Lookup → Similar Issue Finder → Slack Alert. Automatically investigate and report bugs.

Why Toolchains Matter for AI Users

Toolchains transform your AI assistant from a simple command executor into a sophisticated workflow orchestrator. They make complex operations reliable, repeatable, and accessible in every AI session—without writing a single line of orchestration code.

Context Profiles: Project-Scoped AI Context

Context Profiles are your secret weapon for consistent, intelligent AI interactions. Think of them as a "briefing dossier" you prepare once for your AI assistant, which it then consults automatically every time you work on a specific project.

How Context Profiles Work

Create a Context Profile in your dashboard and add project-specific information:

  • Files: Upload architecture diagrams, style guides, API documentation, or any reference files
  • Text Notes: Add coding standards, project conventions, known issues, or team guidelines
  • URLs: Reference documentation sites, wikis, or important resources

Link a Context Profile to your workspace folder via the VS Code extension. From that moment on, every AI interaction in that workspace automatically includes your context—no manual copying, no repeated explanations.

Real-World Benefits

Onboard your AI instantly:
New team members or AI sessions get the full picture without lengthy explanations. Your coding standards, architecture decisions, and project quirks are always available.

Maintain consistency across sessions:
No more reminding your AI about testing framework preferences or explaining why you use a specific pattern. The context persists across all AI conversations.

Switch projects seamlessly:
Working on Project A? Your AI gets Context Profile A. Switch to Project B? Your AI automatically gets Context Profile B. Your AI always has the right context for the right project.

Share knowledge with your team:
Export Context Profiles to share with teammates or create organization-wide profiles that ensure everyone's AI sessions follow the same guidelines.

Workspace Linking

Context Profiles are workspace-scoped, meaning each project folder can have its own linked profile. This ensures that context for Project A never bleeds into Project B. Your workspace configuration is stored in .vscode/settings.json, making it portable and version-controllable.

Performance & Caching

Context Profiles are fetched once and cached locally for 5 minutes, minimizing API calls while keeping your context fresh. The extension automatically prepends your context to all AI prompts, enhancing every interaction with project-specific knowledge.
