Sitzungsübergreifender WebFetch-Cache für Claude Code.

Der integrierte WebFetch von Claude Code speichert Ergebnisse für 15 Minuten innerhalb einer einzelnen Sitzung. claude-webcache erweitert dies sitzungsübergreifend und dauerhaft (TTL 7 Tage, konfigurierbar).

Open new session  ->  your past fetches are still there.
Cache hit         ->  instant.
Cache miss        ->  same as built-in WebFetch.

Warum

Jedes Mal, wenn Sie dieselben URLs über verschiedene Sitzungen hinweg erneut abrufen – Dokumentationen, API-Referenzen, Rechercheseiten – zahlen Sie jedes Mal die vollen Abrufkosten. Der 15-minütige In-Session-Cache wird vor Ihrem nächsten Sprint gelöscht. claude-webcache behält Abrufe bei, sodass die zweite Sitzung stattdessen auf den Cache zugreift.

CACHE_MISS Ablauf: WebFetch + cache_store in der ersten Sitzung CACHE_HIT Ablauf: sofortiger Treffer, kein WebFetch in der zweiten Sitzung

Installation

Option 1 -- Claude Code Plugin (empfohlen)

Eine Zeile in Ihrem Terminal:

claude plugin marketplace add theYahia/claude-webcache && claude plugin install claude-webcache@theyahia

Fügen Sie dann das Nutzungsmuster zu Ihrer ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md hinzu (siehe Nutzungsmuster).

💡 Warum CLI-Unterbefehle und nicht das TUI /plugin install? Der TUI-Ablauf leitet derzeit über das remoteMarketplaceClient-Backend von Claude Code, das einen offenen serverseitigen Fehler aufweist, der alle Drittanbieter-Plugin-Quellen mit Failed to install: This plugin uses a source type your Claude Code version does not support. ablehnt. Siehe anthropics/claude-code#41653 und ca. 20 verwandte offene Probleme. Die oben genannten CLI-Unterbefehle verwenden lokal NativeMarketplaceReader und sind davon nicht betroffen.

Fallback (falls selbst CLI-Unterbefehle bei Ihrer Einrichtung fehlschlagen):

git clone https://github.com/theYahia/claude-webcache && claude --plugin-dir ./claude-webcache/plugin

Dies umgeht die Marketplace-Pipeline vollständig.

Option 2 -- npm global

npm i -g @theyahia/claude-webcache

Erfordert Node.js 22.5+ (verwendet das integrierte node:sqlite – keine nativen Abhängigkeiten).

Registrieren Sie es dann manuell in ~/.claude/settings.json (ersetzen Sie den Pfad durch das Ergebnis von npm root -g):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-webcache": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/from/npm-root-g/claude-webcache/scripts/mcp-server.cjs"]
    }
  },
  "hooks": {
    "SessionStart": [
      {
        "matcher": "startup|clear|compact",
        "hooks": [
          { "type": "command", "command": "node /path/from/npm-root-g/claude-webcache/scripts/hook-stats.cjs" }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Option 3 -- Klonen (Mitwirkende)

Siehe CONTRIBUTING.md.

Nutzungsmuster

Fügen Sie dies zu Ihrer ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md hinzu, damit Claude Web-Abrufe über den Cache leitet:

## WebFetch caching (claude-webcache)

Before calling WebFetch, call `cached_fetch(url, prompt)` first.
- If it returns text -> use that, do NOT call WebFetch.
- If it returns `[CACHE_MISS] <url>` -> call WebFetch as normal, then call `cache_store(url, prompt, output)` with the result.

Das ist alles. Dieselbe URL + derselbe Prompt in jeder zukünftigen Sitzung = sofortiger Cache-Treffer.

Überspringt die Einfügung, wenn der Cache leer ist.

TTL

Standardmäßig 7 Tage. Abgelaufene Einträge werden beim nächsten Lesen desselben Schlüssels gelöscht. Führen Sie eine manuelle Bereinigung durch, indem Sie src/cache.js importieren und purgeExpired() aufrufen.

Grenzen

  • Der Cache-Schlüssel enthält den Prompt -> verschiedene Prompts für dieselbe URL sind separate Einträge. Wählen Sie konsistente Prompts (z. B. immer "extract title and main content"), um die Trefferquote zu maximieren.

  • Die Ausgabe ist das, was WebFetch zurückgibt (bereits vom Modell zusammengefasst). Der Cache verarbeitet sie nicht erneut.

  • Keine semantische Suche, keine Embeddings. Nur exakte (url, prompt)-Übereinstimmungen.

Available Tools

4 tools
cached_fetchA

Look up a URL+prompt pair in the local WebFetch cache. Returns cached output if present (instant), or "[CACHE_MISS] " if not. On CACHE_MISS, call WebFetch, then call cache_store with the result. Same URL+prompt across sessions hits the cache.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesThe URL to fetch
promptYesThe prompt/instruction for the WebFetch

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Fully describes behavior: cache lookup, instant return on hit, cache miss string, and cross-session caching. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden and meets it.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, each sentence adds value without redundancy. Fits the required structure.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Complete for a simple lookup tool: explains input, output, and fallback workflow. No output schema needed as return values are textual and explained.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Adds meaning beyond schema by explaining that url and prompt form a cache key and that prompt is an instruction for WebFetch. Schema coverage is 100%, but description enriches semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it looks up a URL+prompt pair in a local cache, returning cached output or a cache miss message. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like cache_list, cache_stats, and cache_store.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Describes when to use (check cache) and provides a workflow on cache miss (call WebFetch then cache_store). However, it doesn't explicitly state when not to use or compare directly to siblings.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

cache_listB

List recently cached URLs (most recent first).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMax entries to return (default 50)

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the output ordering but does not explain what constitutes 'recently cached', whether the list is global or scoped, or if there are any side effects (e.g., consuming cache entries). No safety or rate-limit information is provided.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that conveys the core purpose with no extraneous words. Every token is meaningful.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (1 optional param, no output schema, no nested objects), the description is minimally adequate. However, it could benefit from additional context such as whether the cache is global or per-user, or how 'recent' is defined, but the basic listing functionality is clear.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema has 100% coverage for the single parameter 'limit', and the description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides. The baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema is sufficient.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a clear verb 'List' and specifies the resource 'recently cached URLs' with ordering 'most recent first'. It distinguishes this from sibling tools like cached_fetch (which likely fetches a specific URL) and cache_store (which stores).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like cached_fetch or cache_stats. There is no mention of prerequisites, use cases, or exclusions. The user is left to infer from the name alone.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

cache_statsA

Return cache statistics: total entries, total hits, last cached timestamp.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description indicates a read-only operation (returning statistics) with no explicit destructive behavior. However, it lacks disclosure of potential side effects, authentication requirements, or rate limits. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden, and it only partially meets that need.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the purpose ('Return cache statistics') and lists the specific outputs. Every word is necessary and there is no redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description is sufficiently complete. It clearly lists the three statistics returned. It could optionally mention that the tool is safe to call at any time, but this is not required for basic completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters, so the description adds no parameter-specific information. According to guidelines, baseline score is 4 when there are 0 parameters, as no compensation is needed.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description explicitly states the tool returns cache statistics including total entries, total hits, and last cached timestamp. It uses a specific verb ('Return') and resource ('cache statistics'), and clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'cache_list' (which likely returns key listings) and 'cache_store' (which stores items).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus its siblings ('cached_fetch', 'cache_list', 'cache_store'). The description only states what it returns, leaving the agent to infer appropriate usage without explicit context or exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

cache_storeA

Store a WebFetch result in the cache after a CACHE_MISS. Pass the original url, prompt, and the output text returned by WebFetch.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYes
outputYesThe output text returned by WebFetch
promptYes

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the storage action but does not mention what happens if the URL already exists (overwrite?), error cases, or authorization needs. This leaves significant ambiguity.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise, consisting of two sentences. The first sentence front-loads the purpose and trigger, and the second lists the parameters. No unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description provides an adequate but minimal explanation. It identifies the tool's role in caching but omits details about idempotency, error handling, or response format, which would be helpful for a complete understanding.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is low (33%), but the description adds meaning by associating each parameter with its role: 'original url, prompt, and the output text returned by WebFetch.' This helps clarify the purpose of the url and prompt parameters beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's action ('Store a WebFetch result in the cache'), the resource ('cache'), and the trigger condition ('after a CACHE_MISS'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like cached_fetch, cache_list, and cache_stats by specifying its role in the caching workflow.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly specifies when to use the tool (after a CACHE_MISS), providing clear context. However, it does not mention when not to use it or offer alternatives (e.g., using cached_fetch for a subsequent lookup).

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct function: lookup, list, stats, store. No overlap in purpose.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools use 'cache_' prefix, but 'cached_fetch' uses past participle while others use 'cache_' as noun, a minor inconsistency.

Tool Count5/5

4 tools is well-scoped for a caching utility, covering essential operations.

Completeness4/5

Covers lookup, storage, listing, and stats, but lacks a clear operation to clear or invalidate cache entries.
