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

Unofficial-VS-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.

プロジェクトメモ

StdioProxy デプロイに関する注意

VsMcpPackage.DeployStdioProxy() はソースとターゲットの FileVersion を比較し、同じならコピーをスキップする。 開発中はアセンブリバージョンを変えずにコード修正することが多いため、ビルド後に手動コピーが必要:

Copy-Item 'src\VsMcp.StdioProxy\bin\Debug\net8.0\VsMcp.StdioProxy.dll',
          'src\VsMcp.StdioProxy\bin\Debug\net8.0\VsMcp.StdioProxy.exe',
          'src\VsMcp.StdioProxy\bin\Debug\net8.0\VsMcp.StdioProxy.deps.json',
          'src\VsMcp.StdioProxy\bin\Debug\net8.0\VsMcp.StdioProxy.runtimeconfig.json',
          'src\VsMcp.StdioProxy\bin\Debug\net8.0\VsMcp.Shared.dll',
          'src\VsMcp.StdioProxy\bin\Debug\net8.0\Newtonsoft.Json.dll' `
    -Destination "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\VsMcp\bin\" -Force

StdioProxy オフライン応答アーキテクチャ

VS未起動でも StdioProxy が即終了せず、ローカル応答を返す仕組み:

VS起動時:   Claude Code → StdioProxy → VS Extension HTTP → 全リクエスト中継
VS未起動時: Claude Code → StdioProxy → ローカル応答(initialize/tools/list/ping)
                                      → tools/call は "VS未起動" エラー

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.
