SmartBear MCP (official)

Context cost warning: its tools/list is about 230,507 tokens (316 tools), 703% of a 32k context window and 115% of a 200k window, before you send a single message. Load only the tools you need, or expect most of the context to go to tool definitions. Estimate from our testing of the tool names, descriptions and input schemas, counted with cl100k_base, measured 2026-11-11. How MCP context cost adds up

70/100

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

Tested npm @smartbear/mcp 0.43.0 (MIT; repo SmartBear/smartbear-mcp). One stdio server for SmartBear products (BugSnag, Reflect, API Hub, Swagger, PactFlow, QMetry, Zephyr, Collaborator, BearQ): 316 tools listed without credentials, a large context cost. The read call bugsnag_list_projects answered that BugSnag is not configured: each product needs its own token. Core tools not tested.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): fail. 0 of 1 call passed; product tools need SmartBear product tokens. Core tools not tested. Evidence: local test run, Nov 11, 2026.

Transport (tested 2026-11-11): stdio

Token cost (estimate): approx. 230507 tokens, cl100k estimate (316 tools, measured 2026-11-11, version 0.43.0). This is an estimate from our testing of the tool names, descriptions and input schemas, counted with cl100k_base.
