Notes

  • The pricing flags (freePlan, enterpriseFocused) are curated and can go stale. Check vendor sites.
  • The hosted endpoint keeps anonymous usage counts: tool name, MCP client name/version, user-agent, and timestamp. It never stores IPs. This repo's code doesn't log anything.
  • REST equivalents and docs: https://coghelm.com/developers/
