Access needs an Enterprise contract, priced from $16,000 a year, and no request rate limits were found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n**TokenEconomizer.** A standard-library Python plugin that keeps learned state on the machine, documents each hook and makes every action reversible. It is version 0.1.0 with no changelog, installs from a git clone of main, and the 18.4 to 30.9 per cent savings are the paper's SWE-Bench figures, measured with settings that differ from the plugin's defaults.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Sourcegraph MCP Server\n\n1. Connect to https://\u003cinstance\u003e/.api/mcp for the nine core tools. Use /.api/mcp/all for `go_to_definition`, `find_references`, `nls_search` and `compare_revisions`\n2. Request only the `mcp` scope in OAuth. Any other scope on the MCP resource fails with `invalid_scope`\n3. Without OAuth, send `Authorization: token \u003caccess token\u003e` and create the token with the `mcp` scope and an expiry\n4. Call `list_repos` first and name the repository in every `code_finder` task. It declines broad searches across repositories\n5. Read large files with `startLine` and `endLine`. Files over 128KB return only the first 200 lines\n\n### TokenEconomizer\n\n1. Check the agent's version against the README's supported range before installing; versions outside it are untested or unsupported.\n2. Keep micro-skills off, or set microskills=envfacts, in a repository whose command output you don't trust.\n3. If a tool you need is missing, run the `toolprune` command to see what was left out and `toolprune restore` to bring it back.\n4. Run the plugin's commands from a terminal with ~/.tokeneconomizer/bin/te; inside the agent each command costs a model turn.\n5. Start the agent with TE_DISABLE=1 to run one session without the plugin.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Sourcegraph MCP Server or TokenEconomizer?\n\nTokenEconomizer scores 62.6 (B) on agent readiness against Sourcegraph MCP Server's 57.5 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Sourcegraph MCP Server leads on schema \u0026 documentation, security \u0026 auth and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Can an agent call Sourcegraph MCP Server and TokenEconomizer without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Sourcegraph MCP Server.
