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 | $0.00727 | $0.00727 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00364 | $0.00364 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00145 | $0.00145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00073 | $0.00073 |
Grade A, and why
nostr-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 10d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
Project Overview
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Nostr capabilities to LLMs. It implements 17 tools for interacting with the Nostr network including profile management, note creation/publishing, zap handling, and NIP-19 entity conversion.
Built with snstr (lightweight TypeScript Nostr library) and the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.
Common Commands
# Build the project (compiles TypeScript and sets executable permissions)
bun run build
# Run all tests
bun test
# Run a specific test file
bun test __tests__/basic.test.ts
# Start the MCP server
bun start
# Start with Node.js (runtime is dual-compatible)
npm run start:node
Architecture
Entry Point
index.ts- Main MCP server setup and tool registration. All 17 tools are registered here with their handlers.
Module Structure
Each feature area has its own directory with a *-tools.ts file containing:
- Zod schemas for tool configuration
- Core business logic functions
- Formatting helpers
| Directory | Purpose |
|---|---|
profile/ |
Keypair generation, profile creation/updates, authenticated note posting |
note/ |
Note creation, signing, publishing, anonymous posting, reading |
zap/ |
Zap receipt processing, anonymous zaps, LNURL handling |
utils/ |
Shared utilities (see below) |

Key Patterns
- Each tool handler creates a fresh relay pool via
getFreshPool()and closes it in afinallyblock - Public keys accept both hex and npub formats - use
npubToHex()to normalize - Private keys accept both hex and nsec formats - use
normalizePrivateKey()helper - Tool configs use Zod schemas defined in each module's

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.

nostr-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository AustinKelsay/nostr-mcp-server (37 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 727 tokens to every session, about $0.0036 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
