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 | $0.03427 | $0.03427 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01371 | $0.01371 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00685 | $0.00685 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00343 | $0.00343 |
Grade C, and why
zulipchat-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 17d 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
- Testing strategy: always use `uv` (no direct Python invocations), keep tests isolated and network-free by mocking clients, aggressively clean caches/venv before major coverage pushes (`rm -rf .venv .pytest_cache **/__p How it starts

Repository Guidelines
Current Status (v0.7.6)
Current release: v0.7.6 on PyPI. Install: uvx zulipchat-mcp.
Project Structure & Module Organization
- Source code lives in
src/zulipchat_mcp/:tools/(tool groups),core/(client, cache, commands),services/(listener, scheduler),integrations/(client installers),utils/(logging, metrics, db).
- Tests are in
tests/(pytest withslowandintegrationmarkers). - Config via CLI flags or environment; copy
.env.exampleto.envfor local dev. Entry points:zulipchat-mcp,zulipchat-mcp-integrate,zulipchat-mcp-setup,zulipchat-mcp-hook.
Build, Test, and Development Commands
uv sync— install dependencies.uv run zulipchat-mcp --zulip-config-file ~/.zuliprc [--enable-listener]— run server locally.uvx zulipchat-mcp— quick run via uvx shim.- Companion commands require an explicit package source:
uvx --from zulipchat-mcp zulipchat-mcp-integrate --help(also applies to setup and hook commands). uv run python scripts/release_preflight.py --version 0.7.6 --allow-dirty— validate versions, documentation package sources, and release metadata. CI also runs this gate.uv run pytest -q— run tests. Use-m "not slow and not integration"to skip long tests;--cov=srcfor coverage. Gate is set to 60%.uv run ruff check .— lint; use Black on changed Python files;uv run mypy src— type-check.
Coding Style & Naming Conventions
- Python 3.10+, 4‑space indent, Black line length 88, Ruff configured (pycodestyle, pyflakes, isort, bugbear, pyupgrade). Keep imports sorted.
- Names: functions/variables
snake_case, classesCamelCase, constantsUPPER_SNAKE_CASE, moduleslower_snake_case.py. - Tool groups should expose
register_*_tools(mcp)mirroring patterns insrc/zulipchat_mcp/tools/.
Testing Guidelines
- Place tests under
tests/astest_*.py; classesTest*, functionstest_*. - Mark long/external tests with
@pytest.mark.slowor@pytest.mark.integrationand gate in CI via markers. - Prefer fast, deterministic unit tests; mock Zulip API calls. Aim for meaningful coverage with
pytest --cov=src. - Testing strategy: always use
uv(no direct Python invocations), keep tests isolated and network-free by mocking clients, aggressively clean caches/venv before major coverage pushes (rm -rf .venv .pytest_cache **/__pycache__ htmlcov .coverage* coverage.xml .uv_cache && uv sync --reinstall), and maintain the coverage gate at 60% while adding minimal, targeted tests without altering functionality.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
