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

anki-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 yesterday.

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.

Project Overview

MCP server enabling AI assistants to interact with Anki via AnkiConnect. Built with NestJS and @rekog/mcp-nest.

  • Package: @ankimcp/anki-mcp-server (npm)
  • License: MIT
  • Status: Beta (0.x.x) - breaking changes allowed
  • User-facing docs: README.md covers installation, client setup (Claude Desktop/MCPB, HTTP, tunnel), and the full tool catalog — consult it for anything user-facing rather than reconstructing it here.

Quick Reference

# Build & Run
npm run build                    # Build → dist/ (all three entry points)
npm run start:dev:stdio          # STDIO mode with watch
npm run start:dev:http           # HTTP mode with watch

npm run start:dev:tunnel         # Tunnel mode with watch + debug

# Testing
npm test                         # All tests
npm test -- path/to/file.spec.ts # Single test file
npm run test:tools               # Tool unit tests only
npm run test:workflows           # Multi-tool workflow scenarios (mocked)
npm run test:cov                 # With coverage (70% threshold)
npm run e2e:full:local           # One-shot E2E: up → test → down
npm run smoke:pack               # Pack + install from tarball (no lockfile), verify initialize/tools-list

# Quality
npm run lint && npm run type-check   # Pre-push checks (also runs via Husky)

# Debugging
npm run inspector:stdio          # MCP Inspector UI for testing tools
npm run inspector:stdio:debug    # With debugger on port 9229
npm run inspector:http           # Inspector against HTTP transport

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.
