How do I install CostBench?

Pick a client above and copy the generated config. Cursor and VS Code also have a deep link when the server can run locally or remotely.

Is CostBench official?

No. Registry-listed is not the same as vendor-official. Read the methodology for the difference.

This listing scores 47 (Fair). The formula is published on the methodology page.

This server does not declare environment variables.

Tools show up when the registry metadata or the repository README lists them. GitHub enrichment fills this in when a token is configured.
