// MCP TOKEN COST

The AdButler MCP server costs 65,582 tokens before the first call.

Connect AdButler and its 622 tool definitions are loaded into the model's context on every request — 33% of a 200k window spent before your agent does anything.

QUICK ANSWER The AdButler MCP server's tool definitions consume 65,582 tokens — 61× the median MCP server (1,075 tokens). A scoped grant exposing only the tools you use cuts that roughly in proportion.

// CONTEXT WINDOW SHARE

What that buys before your agent starts working.

Tool definitions are overhead: they occupy context on every request and compete with your code, documents and conversation history for the same window.

200K WINDOW 33%
1M WINDOW 6.6%

// SCOPED GRANT

Most agents use a handful of these tools. They pay for all 622.

A PolicyLayer grant exposes only the tools you allow — ungranted definitions are filtered out of the tool list, so they never enter the context window. Estimates below assume typical-weight tools (105 tokens each).

Grant scopeDefinition costReduction
All 622 tools (no gateway) 65,582 tokens —
3 granted tools ~316 tokens −100%
5 granted tools ~527 tokens −99%
10 granted tools ~1,054 tokens −98%

Model your own stack in the token-cost calculator, or see the AdButler policy for what a sensible grant looks like.

//FAQ

AdButler token-cost questions.

How many tokens does the AdButler MCP server use?+

Its 622 tool definitions total 65,582 tokens — 33% of a 200k context window — measured with tiktoken o200k_base over the serialised tools/list payload. Exact counts vary slightly by client and model.

Why does AdButler consume tokens before I send a message?+

MCP clients load every connected server's tool definitions — name, description, and input schema — into the model's context so it knows what it can call. That payload is charged against your context window on every request, whether or not a tool is used.

How do I reduce AdButler's token usage?+

Expose fewer tools. A PolicyLayer grant scopes AdButler to only the tools you allow — ungranted definitions are filtered out of the tool list, so they never enter the context window. A grant of 3 typical tools costs roughly 316 tokens, a 100% reduction.

Does deferred tool loading fix this?+

Partially, in some clients. Claude Code defers MCP tool schemas behind a tool-search step by default, and VS Code has experimental grouping — but you still pay tokens per search and reload, and Cursor, Windsurf and Gemini CLI load definitions upfront. Reducing the exposed tool set cuts the cost in every client.

// METHOD & REVIEW

How these numbers were measured.

01
Serialisation

Each tool is serialised as a tools/list entry — name, description, input schema — from the schemas in the PolicyLayer scan database. Clients differ slightly in framing, so treat counts as close estimates.

02
Tokeniser

tiktoken o200k_base (GPT-4o/o-series). Anthropic's current tokeniser isn't published, so Claude's exact counts will differ; for English text and JSON schemas the totals are close enough to treat these as estimates.

03
Deferred loading

Some clients now defer schema loading (Claude Code's tool search; VS Code experimental grouping). You still pay per search and reload — and Cursor, Windsurf and Gemini CLI load everything upfront.

Computed 05-06-2026 from the PolicyLayer scan database over all 622 catalogued AdButler tools. Counts refresh with every site build.

THIS SERVER: All AdButler tools AdButler policy Token-cost calculator

Expose only the tools you use — the rest never enter your context.

A PolicyLayer grant scopes AdButler to the tools you actually allow. Ungranted definitions never load, and every call that does run is checked against policy first.
