Our reading of glot, from the data
glot is an MCP server from mattjeff, 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 in the last day (2026-10-18).
It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
