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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01227	$0.01227
Opus 5	$0.00613	$0.00613
Sonnet 5	$0.00245	$0.00245
Haiku 4.5	$0.00123	$0.00123

Security

Grade A, and why

brvm-mcp-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

CLAUDE.md — BRVM MCP Server

What this project is

The first MCP server for the BRVM (Bourse Régionale des Valeurs Mobilières), the regional stock exchange of 8 West African UEMOA countries. It exposes live market data (quotes, indices, top movers, company info) to any MCP-compatible AI agent via the Model Context Protocol.

This is a portfolio piece for an Anthropic Forward Deployed Engineer application — code quality, documentation, and MCP best practices matter as much as functionality.

Primary data source

afx.kwayisi.org/brvm/ — HTML page with live BRVM quotes, indices, trading summaries
No official BRVM API exists; we scrape responsibly (polite User-Agent, 5min cache TTL)
The HTML structure of afx may change — the scraper needs to be resilient and tested against the real page
The TICKER_REGISTRY in scrapers/__init__.py is a static enrichment layer (company names, countries, sectors)

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.
