Developer releases tool to measure MCP tool definition sizes

A developer has released mcp-footprint, an open-source Node.js command-line tool that analyses how large tool definitions are in a captured Model Context Protocol catalog. It compares MCP tool definitions from saved tools/list responses, letting developers see which servers define unusually heavy or bloated tools. The project is being shared in software and development communities as MCP tooling adoption grows.
Why now: Interest in measuring and optimising the size of tool definitions as Model Context Protocol usage expands.
