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 | $0.03111 | $0.03111 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01555 | $0.01555 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00622 | $0.00622 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00311 | $0.00311 |
Grade A, and why
reolink-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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Project
reolink-mcp
An open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Reolink cameras: lets Claude — or any MCP client — see and control Reolink cameras on the local network. Snapshots, device state, AI detection states, PTZ presets, and deterrence controls (spotlight, siren, IR/white LED). Local network only, no cloud. For anyone running an MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.) with Reolink cameras on their LAN — starting with the author's own setup.
Market gap (verified 2026-07-08): no dedicated Reolink MCP server exists on GitHub, npm, or PyPI. Closest prior art requires a middleman: dedsxc/mcp-frigate (needs Frigate NVR), homeassistant-mcp (needs Home Assistant). This is a first-mover standalone niche.
Core Value: A user with a Reolink camera adds reolink-mcp to their MCP client config, asks "show me the front door camera," and gets a live snapshot — direct to camera, no NVR or home-automation daemon in between.
Constraints
- Tech stack: Python ≥ 3.11 — floor forced by
reolink-aio - Dependencies: official
mcpPython SDK (FastMCPserver class);fastmcp2.x is the fallback if SDK ergonomics fall short - Dependencies:
reolink-aio0.21.x for all camera communication - Tooling: uv + hatchling + ruff + pytest/pytest-asyncio
- Security: secrets via env vars only, never in YAML config
- Compatibility: must coexist with other systems holding sessions on the same cameras (document Reolink concurrent-session limit)
- Distribution: PyPI package runnable via
uvx reolink-mcp; MCP registry listing
Technology Stack
Verdict on the Seeded Stack
- Image content blocks:
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP, Image— theImagehelper is exported in v1.28.1 and converts to an MCPImageContentblock (base64 + MIME type) automatically.get_snapshotreturningImage(data=jpeg_bytes, format="jpeg")is a one-liner. HIGH confidence. - Tool annotations:
FastMCP.tool()in v1.28.1 acceptsannotations: ToolAnnotations | None, andToolAnnotationscarriesread_only_hint,destructive_hint,idempotent_hint,open_world_hint(serialized as camelCasereadOnlyHintetc. on the wire). The observe/control gating requirement is fully supported. HIGH confidence. - stdio transport: first-class in v1.x (
mcp.run(transport="stdio")default). HIGH confidence.
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.

reolink-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ed-dryha/reolink-mcp (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,111 tokens to every session, about $0.0156 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
