Thanks to BrightData for sponsoring this video. Checkout their new MCP server here: github.com/brightdata/brightdata-mcp

MCP servers can burn through half your context window on tool definitions alone — sometimes 150K tokens before your agent sends a single message. This video walks through 10 techniques (including Anthropic's new Code Execution and Tool Search) that cut MCP token usage by up to 98%.
