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 | $0.00879 | $0.00879 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00352 | $0.00352 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00176 | $0.00176 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00088 | $0.00088 |
Grade A, and why
news-api-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A 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 2mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What this repository is
Documentation and client configs for the hosted APITube News MCP server at
https://mcp.apitube.io/. The server itself is not here — it runs as a service, and this repository
is what a user or an agent reads to connect to it.
README.md what the server is, how to connect, what the tools accept
llms-install.md install instructions written for an agent doing the setup
server.json the entry published to registry.modelcontextprotocol.io
configs/ ready config files, one per MCP client

There is no build step, no dependencies and no server code.
Rules for editing
-
Verify against the running server before writing anything down.
initialize,tools/listandprompts/listanswer without a key:curl -s -X POST https://mcp.apitube.io/ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1}'Tool arguments, defaults and limits come from the live
tools/listschema, not from memory. -
Do not trust the docs over the server. Where https://docs.apitube.io and the running service disagree, the service wins and this repository records the real behaviour.
-
Never put a real API key in an example. Use
YOUR_API_KEYin configs and readAPITUBE_API_KEYfrom the environment in scripts. -
Every config here must be pasteable as-is. Test a changed config in the client it targets before committing it — a key in the wrong header fails as
401 ER0201with no other hint. -
server.jsonmirrors the published registry entry (io.apitube/news). Changing it here does not publish anything — the entry is published separately withmcp-publisher, and a change to tools or transport means bumpingversionin both places.
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.
