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 | $0.03006 | $0.03006 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01202 | $0.01202 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00601 | $0.00601 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00301 | $0.00301 |
Grade A, and why
tripadvisor-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 2d 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.

Guidance for Claude working in this repo.
TL;DR
TripAdvisor Terra API MCP server, plus an optional browser-bridge tier.
The primary tier wraps the read-only Terra REST API
(https://terra.tripadvisor.com/api) and exposes 6 tools to Claude over stdio:
location search, nearby search, location details, batch location details,
photos, and reviews. Terra is
TripAdvisor's current API; the legacy Content API is sunset on 2026-08-31 (an
earlier build of this repo targeted it — see git history). A second tier
reaches the bot-walled consumer site via fetchproxy: ta_web_healthcheck
(bridge diagnostics) and ta_web_get_location (location details parsed from the
public page's schema.org ld+json — works with no API key, covering
attractions/hotels/restaurants). Web-tier shapes are pinned in
docs/TRIPADVISOR-WEB-API.md.
Auth for the primary tier is a Terra key (TRIPADVISOR_API_KEY) sent as the
X-API-Key header, via mcp-utils createApiClient (tokenHeader: 'X-API-Key').
The key never touches the URL, so cache keys and error messages are key-free by
construction. A legacy Content API key gets a 403 on Terra (and vice-versa);
that's the tell diagnosed in the 403 error. No writes (Terra has no write
endpoints — nothing is confirm-gated because nothing mutates). Terra responses
wrap list results as {data:[…], pagination}; the location object keys names/
descriptions/addresses as language-tagged arrays (primary = primary:true).
The web tier (src/web/) is the fleet's fetchproxy archetype: DataDome fronts
tripadvisor.com, so those requests run as same-origin fetches in the user's
signed-in tab via the bridge (fleet-shared port 37149). @fetchproxy/server
is inlined by esbuild (not externalized), so the .mcpb bundle boots bare —
guarded by tests/server-boot.test.ts. The primary API tools never touch the
bridge.

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.
