Getting Started with Snipara
Get up and running with Snipara in under 5 minutes. This guide will walk you through creating your first project and connecting your MCP client.
What is Snipara?
Snipara helps you query your documentation efficiently by reducing context from 500K tokens to approximately 5K tokens of highly relevant content. This means:
- 90% cost reduction on your LLM API bills
- Faster responses with less context to process
- Better accuracy with more relevant context
- No vendor lock-in - works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and any MCP-compatible client
