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

music-assistant-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 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.

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

MusicAssistantMCP

MCP server wrapping music-assistant-client via FastMCP.

Project Structure

  • src/music_assistant_mcp/server.py - FastMCP instance, lifespan, entry point
  • src/music_assistant_mcp/connection.py - Env var parsing, auth config
  • src/music_assistant_mcp/serializers.py - MA model → dict converters
  • src/music_assistant_mcp/tools/ - Tool modules (search, library, playback, queue, playlists)
  • src/music_assistant_mcp/resources.py - MCP resources

Key Patterns

  • Each tool module has a register(mcp) function that decorates tools onto the FastMCP instance
  • Tools get the MA client from ctx.request_context.lifespan_context["client"]
  • All tools return JSON strings
  • The lifespan context manager handles connection/auth lifecycle
  • Serializers use getattr with fallbacks to handle both full model objects and ItemMapping lightweight refs

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.
