What is the Context Distill MCP Server?

A Go tool that distills command output and retrieves code context before it reaches a paid LLM. Available as a Skill (recommended), a standalone CLI

What it actually does

context-distill exposes four operations accessible in three ways:

Configuration

  • Go 1.26+ - Make (recommended) If you prefer not to compile, you can install a prebuilt binary from GitHub Releases (see below).

Recorded tools

  • distill_batch — Distills one raw output payload using an explicit question contract.
  • distill_mcp_output — 1. You already have a raw MCP payload and pass it with --output. 2. You want context-distill to call an MCP tool first and then distill the result.
  • distill_watch — The distill_watch tool exposed by this server.
  • search_code — Searches repository code locally and distills compact matches according to --question.
