One line: a shields.io badge showing what the stdio notion-mcp-server's tool schemas cost in context tokens — currently 17,500 tokens across 24 tools (measured 2026-08-16). This is neutral transparency users ask for when budgeting context windows — not a judgment; a full-API server naturally carries more schema than a single-purpose one, and your README already points users to the leaner remote Notion MCP.
The per-tool breakdown may be independently useful:
API-update-page-markdown(1,282),API-post-search(1,097), andAPI-patch-page(889) lead, mostly via inputSchema depth — full capture in results/notion/measurement.json. Median across the 57 popular servers we measured: 2,636.The badge JSON refreshes weekly and links to a reproducible methodology (raw
tools/listcapture + pinnedo200k_basetokenizer, re-derivable in five lines). 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).
