Diagnoses token waste in Claude Code sessions. 6 anomaly types, cost audit, trend forecasting. Fully local plugin.
Documentation
Claude Token Analyzer
> Your Claude Code sessions might be burning tokens you can't see.
> Diagnoses where your tokens go, why they're wasted, and what to fix first.
Fully local — parses your `~/.claude` JSONL files into SQLite. Nothing leaves your machine. No cloud. No telemetry.
Features
- Diagnose token waste — Detects 6 statistical anomaly types (HighCost, LowCacheHitRate, CostInefficient, ExcessiveToolUse, HighTokenUsage, UnusualModelMix) with severity scoring
- Audit costs — Per-session, per-project, and global cost breakdowns with monthly trends
- Forecast spending — Daily/weekly/monthly usage trends with burn-rate projections
- Optimize cache — Identifies sessions with poor cache hit rates that inflate costs
- Prioritize fixes — Severity-scored anomalies so you know what to fix first, not just what's wrong
- Converse naturally — Ask in plain language: "how much did I spend?" or "scan for anomalies"
Quick Start
# Install (binary auto-downloads, no Rust toolchain needed)
claude plugin install claude-token-analyzerThen just ask in any Claude Code session:
> cta
> how much did I spend this month?
> scan for anomalies
> analyze this project
> show me usage trendsHow It Works
~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl Your session logs (never modified)
→ parser.rs Extract + deduplicate responses
→ analyzer.rs Cost calculation, 10-dimension metrics
→ storage.rs Upsert into local SQLite
→ detector.rs 6-type anomaly detection + severity scoring
→ MCP tools / Skills You ask, it answersAll processing happens locally. The SQLite database lives under the plugin data directory in plugin mode and falls back to `~/.claude/` in standalone mode. No network calls, no external dependencies at runtime.

MCP Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `sync_db` | Sync JSONL session logs to SQLite |
| `analyze_session` | 10-dimension session analysis |
| `analyze_project` | Project-level aggregation with sorting |
| `analyze_global` | Cross-project panoramic view |

| `anomaly_scan` | 6-type anomaly detection with severity scoring |
| `trend_report` | Time-series trends (daily/weekly/monthly) |
Configuration
Environment variables (all optional):
| Variable | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `CTA_DB_PATH` | SQLite database location | `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/data/token-analyzer.db` or `~/.claude/token-analyzer.db` |
| `CTA_PROJECTS_DIR` | Session logs directory | `${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR}/projects` or `~/.claude/projects` |
| `CTA_ARCHIVE_DIR` | Archive directory | `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/data/token-analyzer-archive` or `~/.claude/token-analyzer-archive` |
| `CTA_PRICING_PATH` | Custom pricing TOML | Embedded in binary |
| `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` | Claude config root for session logs | unset |
Path resolution priority:
- DB/archive: environment variable > plugin mode (`$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT`) > standalone mode (`$HOME/.claude/`)
- Projects: environment variable > Claude config dir (`$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/projects`) > standalone mode (`$HOME/.claude/projects`)

全本地運行 — 解析 `~/.claude` JSONL 檔案到 SQLite。資料不離開你的機器。無雲端、無遙測。
功能特色
- 診斷 token 浪費 — 6 種統計異常類型,含嚴重度評分
- 成本審計 — 按會話、專案、全域的費用拆解與月度趨勢
- 趨勢預測 — 日/週/月用量趨勢與燃燒率預測
- 快取優化 — 識別低快取命中率的會話,降低不必要開銷
- 嚴重度排序 — 優先處理影響最大的問題,不只是標記異常
- 自然語言互動 — 用中文直接問:「看看狀況」「這個月花多少」「有異常嗎」
