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 | $0.01525 | $0.01525 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00610 | $0.00610 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00305 | $0.00305 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00153 | $0.00153 |
Grade A, and why
presets.dev mcp.instructions.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.

MCP Copilot Instructions: Tools, Schemas and Permissions
Path-specific Copilot instructions for MCP. They apply through applyTo and leave .github/copilot-instructions.md in place.
Updated for the 2026-07-28 MCP spec, Nov 2026
Do not upgrade dependencies or the framework version unless the task asks.
The spec this file follows is the 2026-07-28 revision. @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.32.2 is still the v1 package on npm, and a server that calls server.connect(new StdioServerTransport()) or hands requests to a Streamable HTTP transport from that package speaks the 2025-era protocol only. A client pinned to 2026-07-28 cannot complete a session with it.
To serve 2026-07-28, use the v2 packages. @modelcontextprotocol/server 2.4.0 and @modelcontextprotocol/client 2.4.0 are the v2 packages that speak this revision. Import McpServer and createMcpHandler from @modelcontextprotocol/server. Import serveStdio from @modelcontextprotocol/server/stdio. Pass a factory that constructs a new McpServer on each call. A handler that receives Node IncomingMessage imports its HTTP transport from @modelcontextprotocol/node. Read the installed package names before editing. Leave a v1 server on v1 unless the task is the move to v2, and do not import @modelcontextprotocol/core-internal.
What this revision removed
The 2026-07-28 revision is stateless. There is no initialize / notifications/initialized handshake and no Mcp-Session-Id header. Every request carries its protocol version and client capabilities in _meta (io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion, io.modelcontextprotocol/clientCapabilities). Servers identify themselves on each result the same way. A version mismatch is UnsupportedProtocolVersionError.
server/discover is required. It advertises supported versions, capabilities, and identity. Clients may call it before other requests, or use it as a probe on stdio.
List methods do not vary per connection. Cross-call state is an explicit server-minted handle passed as an ordinary tool argument. resources/subscribe is gone. Opted-in change notifications use subscriptions/listen. Every result has resultType: "complete" or "input_required".
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.
