MCP Token Auditor

Every MCP server you connect adds its tool catalog to every Claude call — whether you use the tools or not. A typical GitHub server adds ~2,200 tokens per turn. Paste your ~/.claude.jsonand we'll show you the bill.

1. Paste your MCP config

Paste your ~/.claude.json (or just the mcpServers block).

2. Audit

! Paste your MCP config to begin.

Token categories

  • Lean < 800 tok — small servers like time, memory, context7.
  • Standard 800–2,500 tok — most real-work servers (Linear, Slack, Notion, Postgres).
  • Heavy > 2,500 tok — GitHub, Cloudflare, Stripe, Supabase — disable them on projects that don't use them.
  • Mystery — unrecognized server. Add an explicit toolCount and avgDescriptionLen for a precise estimate.
