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 | $0.01877 | $0.01877 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00938 | $0.00938 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00375 | $0.00375 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00188 | $0.00188 |
Grade A, and why
paperclip-mcp CLAUDE.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 8d 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.

CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
Project
paperclip-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) stdio server that exposes the Paperclip control plane API as callable tools for Claude Code agents. It translates MCP tool requests into Paperclip REST API calls over HTTP.
Local Paperclip dev server
A persistent Paperclip server runs in Podman alongside this repo for development. See docs/guides/local-stack.md for full setup; everyday commands (run from this repo's root):
| Action | Command |
|---|---|
| Check if running | curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:3100/api/health | jq . |
| Start (if stopped) | podman-compose --profile external-db up -d |
| Stop (keeps volumes + data) | podman-compose --profile external-db stop |
| Restart | podman-compose --profile external-db restart |
| Tail logs | podman logs -f paperclip |
| Dashboard URL | http://127.0.0.1:3100 |
Do NOT use
down -vunless you want to wipe the Postgres volume.downwithout-vremoves containers but preserves thepaperclip-dataandpaperclip-pg-datanamed volumes.
The MCP server is wired via .mcp.json using npx paperclip-mcp (published package). Public skills under skills/ can be symlinked into your local ~/.claude/skills/ so Claude Code picks them up automatically.

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.
