Our reading of Nginx Proxy Manager, from the data
Nginx Proxy Manager is an MCP server from euisuh, 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 (NPM_PASSWORD); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
