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.

Security

Grade A, and why

anchorage-checkbook-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 9d 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.

Build & Development Commands

# Install dependencies (uv preferred, pip fallback)
uv sync                              # or: pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run local MCP server (no Lambda needed)
python3 scripts/local_server.py      # Serves on http://localhost:8000/mcp
# The only local entry point. It routes through UniversalHTTPHandler, the
# same handler the Lambda adapter uses, so Origin/protocol-version/path
# checks behave locally exactly as they do in prod.

# Validate config
python3 -c "from core.validators import load_and_validate_config; load_and_validate_config('config.yaml')"

# Tests
uv run pytest tests/ -n auto                                    # All tests, parallel
uv run pytest tests/test_ckan_plugin.py -v                      # Single file
uv run pytest tests/test_ckan_plugin.py::TestClass::test_name -v  # Single test
uv run pytest tests/ --cov=core --cov=plugins --cov-report=term-missing  # With coverage (80% minimum)

# Linting (ruff)
uv run ruff check core/ plugins/ server/ tests/      # Check
uv run ruff check core/ plugins/ server/ tests/ --fix # Auto-fix
uv run ruff format core/ plugins/ server/ tests/      # Format

# Pre-commit hooks
pre-commit run --all-files

# Go client (requires Go 1.21+)
cd client && make build

# Deploy to AWS
./scripts/deploy.sh --environment staging

Architecture

Core rule: One Fork = One MCP Server. Each deployment runs exactly ONE plugin. This is enforced at config validation time (core/validators.py) and at runtime (PluginManager.load_plugins()). To deploy multiple MCP servers, fork the repo per plugin.

Request flow:

Claude (stdio) → Go client (client/) or stdio_bridge.py → HTTP POST /mcp
  → Lambda (server/adapters/aws_lambda.py) or scripts/local_server.py
  → server/http_handler.py → core/mcp_server.py (JSON-RPC 2.0)
  → core/plugin_manager.py → Plugin → External API

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.
