Korean Tax Calc MCP (Upstage)

Context cost warning: its tools/list is about 151,654 tokens (85 tools), 463% of a 32k context window and 76% of a 200k window, before you send a single message (raw tools/list payload 153,468 tokens). Load only the tools you need, or expect most of the context to go to tool definitions. Measured by counting the tokens in this server's tool list on 2026-10-28. How MCP context cost adds up

Local-model readiness

Schema context cost: ~151,654 tokens for 85 tools (328,894 bytes) · about 1851% of an 8k context. Method: tiktoken cl100k_base over compact JSON of name+description+inputSchema (approximate).

What we tested and what we didn't

Tested on 2026-10-28

  • Install from the registry
  • We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 85 tools (Method details: MCP initialize then tools/list)
  • Maintenance signals (last push, archived/deprecated status)
  • Docs (README length, install and config example)
  • License (OSI-approved or not)
  • Tool-schema token cost (estimate)

Not tested

  • Security: not audited (no code review, no permission or data-flow analysis)
  • Real tasks (no functional task runs yet)
  • Behaviour with real credentials or a real account
  • Performance, rate limits or load
  • Correctness of results beyond the listed tasks

Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that it is safe to give it access to your data.
