What is mcp CLAUDE.md?

Setup and testing instructions for BookMind, an open-source service that connects an AI agent to QuickBooks Online, an online accounting system. It lists required environment variables and commands for running the service.

Use it when installing BookMind, configuring QuickBooks and an AI provider, building or starting the service, testing it, or preparing directory submissions.

It gives contributors the configuration and checks needed to build and start the project without searching through scattered documentation. It also describes where the project can be submitted for directory listings.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00217	$0.00217
Opus 5.5	$0.00087	$0.00087
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00043	$0.00043
Haiku 4.5	$0.00022	$0.00022

Security

Grade A, and why

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 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.

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.

Changes

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.
