One line in the badge row: a shields.io badge showing what @brightdata/mcp's tool schemas cost in context tokens — currently 978 tokens across 5 tools (largest: discover at 347), measured 2026-08-16. Among 57 popular MCP servers we measured the median is 2,636, so this is one of the leaner scraping/search servers — worth wearing.

The badge JSON lives in our repo and refreshes weekly; the number links to a reproducible methodology — raw tools/list capture + pinned o200k_base tokenizer, re-derivable in five lines from results/bright-data/measurement.json.

If you'd rather not carry this, close freely — no hard feelings. To own the number in your own CI instead: sd2k/mcp-tokens-action (badge support proposed in sd2k/mcp-tokens-action#5).
