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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00250 $0.00250
Opus 5.5 $0.00100 $0.00100
Sonnet 5.5 $0.00050 $0.00050

Security

Grade A, and why

reddit-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.

What it actually says

reddit-mcp

Local MCP server that lets LLMs fetch and read Reddit content (posts, comments, subreddits).

Tech Stack

  • TypeScript (ES2022), Node.js 22+, ES Modules
  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk for MCP protocol
  • zod for parameter validation

Commands

  • npm run build — compile TypeScript to dist/
  • npm run dev — run directly with tsx (development)
  • npm start — run compiled output (production)

Project Structure

src/
  index.ts                  — entry point, server setup
  reddit-client.ts          — Reddit JSON API client + data models
  tools/fetch-reddit.ts     — MCP tool registration + output formatting
  utils/parse-reddit-url.ts — URL parsing and normalization

Key Design Decisions

  • Uses Reddit's public JSON API (no OAuth/authentication required)
  • Communicates via stdio transport
  • All Reddit content is prefixed with an untrusted-content disclaimer
  • Text truncated at 20,000 chars; comments nested max 2 levels deep, 5 replies per comment
  • 15-second fetch timeout
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.
