BeagleLathe is a local MCP server for Claude Code with eleven tools that collapse common 3–5 round-trips into a single call. Measured: ~10% cheaper, ~46% fewer tool calls, ~29% faster. Free for 200 calls/month. curl -LsSf https://beaglelathe.dev/install.sh | sh
BeagleLathe started as a private hack after watching Claude Code spend twelve tool calls renaming handleAuth across three files. Glob, Grep, three Reads, an Edit, a verify-Read, a failed Edit, a retry, another verify, then the third file. I would watch agents burn through tons of tokens and time reading/editing/searching for files.
It seems sort of weird that we have these advanced AI systems but the way they access the filesystem is not very optimized.
Measured head-to-head on nine fixtures, same model on both sides: ~10% cheaper, ~46% fewer tool calls, ~29% faster. Up to ~19% cheaper on multi-file refactors. 45/45 verify-pass — the savings don't come from cutting corners.
It runs on your machine. Source files never go to a server.
Are your agents doing any weird tool-call loops? What else do you think could be optimized with more intelligent tool calls.
Some recent additions are extended search support for differrent language syntaxes. We are releasing support for Codex, Gemini and Cursor soon!
