You completely ignored every question related to costs/privacy.

I thought it was more implied, but let me be more explicit:

- This is something I made for myself without a lot of commercial thought, so I still haven't thought through pricing + usage + limits + operational limits. In it's current wildly unoptimized state it's still very cheap to run.

- For the specific concern about API Key leakage there's not a lot I can do about that (that I'm aware of) as the logic of what gets sent is handled by the client AI. It is possible to pull down and audit both the tools + instructions that are published by the MCP server if there are concerns on that side.
