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 | $0.04912 | $0.04912 |
| Opus 5 | $0.02456 | $0.02456 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00982 | $0.00982 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00491 | $0.00491 |
Grade A, and why
shamela-mcp 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 12d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 328 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
shamela-mcpb — Claude Code Context
This repo packages a Maktabah al-Shamela 4 search server as an .mcpb (MCP Bundle) for install into Claude Desktop. Architecture, IPC contract, citation format, and roadmap live in docs/.
Build commands
All scripts are Node-based (no PowerShell) so they run on Windows + macOS + Linux:
npm install # one time per checkout
npm run build # esbuild Node + javac Java helper
npm run build:lib # tsc → dist/lib (the importable library; also runs on npm install)
npm run test # unit + integration suite (vitest)
npm run smoke # exercise every tool against the local Shamela install
npm run benchmark # Mode 1 + Mode 2 workflow simulations
npm run pack # full chain: build:server + build:java + mcpb pack
npm run release # cut a release: pre-flight + pack + tag + GitHub Release
npm run release:dry # run all pre-flight checks, skip pack/tag/publish
build:java requires JDK 21+ (javac + jar). It searches PATH, then JAVA_HOME,
then platform defaults: Eclipse Adoptium / Microsoft / Oracle / Corretto on Windows,
/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21 on macOS, /usr/lib/jvm/* on Linux. Set JAVA_HOME
explicitly if your JDK is in a non-standard location.
On macOS
Shamela installs to ~/Library/Application Support/Shamela — capital S, no 4,
unlike the Windows shamela4. build:java finds it there without help.
It ships a JRE only (java, no javac), so the helper still needs a real
JDK to compile:
brew install openjdk@21 # the temurin@21 cask needs sudo; this does not
cp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Shamela/app/lucene/2/AlKhalil-Analyzer-2.1.jar src/java/libs/
cp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Shamela/app/lucene/2/shamela-misc-1.0.0.jar src/java/libs/
npm run build:java && npm run test
No JAVA_HOME and no PATH export. openjdk@21 is keg-only — Homebrew does
not symlink it, and /usr/libexec/java_home cannot see it — so build:java
probes the Homebrew prefixes directly.
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.
