Porkbun MCP
Context cost warning: its tools/list is about 41,506 tokens (120 tools), 127% of a 32k context window and 21% of a 200k window, before you send a single message (raw tools/list payload 47,212 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 2026-10-31. How MCP context cost adds up
Capped at 70: no passing tool call yet; the tests add up to 100. Why scores are capped
Test points add up to 100; the score is capped at 70 until a tool call passes. Not a quality or security rating. Methodology

Local-model readiness
Schema context cost: ~41,506 tokens for 120 tools (173,922 bytes) · about 507% of an 8k context. Method: tiktoken cl100k_base over compact JSON of name+description+inputSchema (approximate).
Small-model friendly (schema heuristic, not a model result): unknown.

What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-10-31
- Install from the registry
- We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 120 tools (Method details: MCP
initializethentools/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.
