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 | $0.04543 | $0.04543 |
| Opus 5 | $0.02271 | $0.02271 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00909 | $0.00909 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00454 | $0.00454 |
Grade A, and why
paperless-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 today.
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 — 405 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Paperless-NGX MCP Server - Claude Instructions
These are the project's AI instructions, read automatically by Claude Code as
CLAUDE.md. They are the single source of truth for how to work in this repo - they previously lived in.github/copilot-instructions.mdand.cursor/rules/*.mdc, which have been consolidated here.
Project Overview
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Paperless-NGX document management system. It enables AI assistants like Claude to manage documents, tags, correspondents, and document types through the Paperless-NGX API.
Tech Stack:
- TypeScript with Node.js
- MCP SDK (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk)
- Express for HTTP transport mode
- Axios for API requests
- Zod for schema validation

# HTTP mode
npm run start -- --baseUrl http://localhost:8000 --token your-api-token --http --port 3000
# Using environment variables
export PAPERLESS_URL=http://localhost:8000
export PAPERLESS_API_KEY=your-api-token
npm run start
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.
