Our reading of Life Dashboard, from the data

Life Dashboard is a database MCP server from owen282000, listed in the official MCP Registry.

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

With 5 GitHub stars it ranks #347 of 1,397 database servers we index.

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