What is tribal_mcp_server CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for a Python server that uses FastAPI and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a way for AI assistants to call external tools. They document setup, commands, Docker, Claude Code connection, and coding practices.

Use them to install dependencies, start the server, run linting, type checks, or tests, configure its Docker container, and connect it to Claude Code.

They give an agent the repository's expected commands and environment details, reducing mistakes when installing, running, checking, or testing the server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00691	$0.00691
Opus 5	$0.00345	$0.00345
Sonnet 5	$0.00138	$0.00138
Haiku 4.5	$0.00069	$0.00069

Security

Grade A, and why

tribal_mcp_server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
