Our reading of API Shakedown, from the data
API Shakedown is an MCP server from anzar-ahsan-commits, listed in the official MCP Registry.
We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.
It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs 2 secrets (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
