The author shares a workflow that replaces a stack of MCP servers with a single agent skill file: tool descriptions eat context and subscriptions add up, so the agent now loads only the tools it actually needs.
- One session covering 50 websites — monthly traffic, backlinks, Google rankings — at 4 cents per site
- Checking visibility in ChatGPT/Perplexity answers cost 8 extra cents
- For 30 sites, finding founders/decision-makers, looking up their work emails at 2-5 cents, verifying inboxes for 1 cent (free if not found)
Total: under $5, all in one chat without running out of context.
