Summary

An open-source MCP plugin called 'prompt-caching' that automatically reduces Claude Code token costs by up to 90% through intelligent prompt caching. The plugin detects stable content like system prompts, tool definitions, and file reads, then marks them for caching so users don't pay full price for repeated content. It requires minimal setup with just two commands and is built specifically for Claude's coding environment.
