One line: a shields.io badge showing what exa-mcp-server's tool schemas cost in context tokens — currently 486 tokens across 2 tools (
web_search_exa: 289,web_fetch_exa: 195), measured 2026-08-16. Among 57 popular MCP servers we measured, the median is 2,636 — Exa's stdio server is one of the leaner search servers, which seemed worth letting the README say.The badge JSON lives in our repo and refreshes weekly; the number links to a reproducible methodology — raw
tools/listcapture + pinnedo200k_basetokenizer, re-derivable in five lines from results/exa/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).
