Our reading of Ekbasis, from the data

Ekbasis is a version control MCP server from openinterpretability, listed in the official MCP Registry.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 2 days ago (2026-10-16). For comparison, 65% of version control servers are active or maintained.

With 19 GitHub stars it ranks #107 of 725 version control servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (EKBASIS_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
