One line: a shields.io badge showing what server-perplexity-ask's tool schemas cost in context tokens — currently 133 tokens for its single perplexity_ask tool (measured 2026-08-16). That's the second-leanest of the 57 popular MCP servers we measured (median: 2,636) — a number 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/perplexity/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).
