Our reading of LogCarver, from the data

LogCarver is a database MCP server from caiderek, listed in the official MCP Registry.

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

With 1 GitHub stars it ranks #538 of 1,397 database servers we index.

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