Our reading of InkRelay, from the data
InkRelay is an MCP server from gauravbr, 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 one secret (INKRELAY_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
