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.

Security

Grade A, and why

gahmen-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.

Architecture Overview

MCP Server Structure

This is a stateless MCP server that exposes Singapore's data.gov.sg APIs through Model Context Protocol tools. The server follows Smithery's convention requiring a default export function with signature ({ config }).

API Integration Pattern

The codebase integrates with 5 different API bases:

  • api-production.data.gov.sg/v2/public/api - Collections and Datasets APIs
  • data.gov.sg/api/action - CKAN Datastore Search API
  • api-open.data.gov.sg/v1/public/api - Download APIs
  • tablebuilder.singstat.gov.sg/api/table - SingStat Table Builder APIs

Rate Limiting Architecture

Built-in rate limiter implements 5 requests per minute (12-second intervals) as required by data.gov.sg APIs. All MCP tools automatically apply rate limiting before API calls.

HTTP Logging

Global axios interceptors provide comprehensive request/response logging with emojis for easy debugging. All API calls are automatically logged with parameters, responses, and errors.

Multi-Provider Architecture

The codebase supports both data.gov.sg APIs and SingStat Table Builder APIs. Tools are organized by provider in separate files:

  • src/datagovsg.tools.ts - Data.gov.sg API tools with datagovsg_ prefix
  • src/singstat.tools.ts - SingStat API tools with singstat_ prefix
  • src/index.ts - Main server that imports and registers all tools

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.
