Dev hosts 5 small MCP tools: manifest token cost, install snippets, CLAUDE.md lint, AI-crawler check

An indie developer packaged five small tools he kept rebuilding by hand into web forms, a JSON endpoint, and an MCP server — none call a model. Free with daily caps, $5/month unlimited.
- manifestcost: full handshake against a streamable HTTP endpoint, reporting tools/list token cost per session and per tool, flagging expensive descriptions
- mcpinstallsnippets: generates claude mcp add command, Claude Desktop JSON, Cursor mcp.json, Codex config, and a curl handshake after probing the endpoint
- lintagentmd: checks CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md against the 200-line memory index cap, estimates tokens, finds duplicates and leftover TODOs
- checktells: detects em-dashes, negative-parallel contrasts, stock vocabulary, hidden Unicode, and returns a cleaned copy
- checkaicrawlers: reads robots.txt to report allowed/blocked AI crawlers and drafts an llms.txt
