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	$0.00753	$0.00753
Opus 5.5	$0.00301	$0.00301
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00151	$0.00151
Haiku 4.5	$0.00075	$0.00075

Security

Grade A, and why

codex-mcp-server AGENTS.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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to codex-mcp-server AGENTS.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

src/ TypeScript sources (ESM):
- index.ts MCP entrypoint (stdio server)
- tools/ MCP tools (*.tool.ts), registry.ts, index.ts (registration)
- utils/ execution, logging, parsing helpers
- constants.ts shared types/strings
dist/ compiled output (generated by tsc).
docs/ VitePress docs.
scripts/ maintenance utilities (e.g., wiki deploy).

Example: add a tool under src/tools/my-feature.tool.ts, then register it in src/tools/index.ts by pushing to toolRegistry.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

npm run build — compile TypeScript to dist/.
npm start — run server from dist/.
npm run dev — compile once then run (no watch).
npm run lint — type-check only (tsc --noEmit).
Docs: npm run docs:dev|docs:build|docs:preview — develop/build/preview VitePress site.

Requirements: Node >=16. The server shells out to the codex CLI; ensure it's installed and authenticated in your environment.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

Language: TypeScript (ESM, Node16 resolution). Imports use .js extensions in src/ to match ESM output.
Indentation: 2 spaces; prefer single quotes in strings except where template literals or readability favors otherwise.
Filenames: kebab-case. Tools end with .tool.ts (e.g., fetch-chunk.tool.ts).
Types: keep zod schemas colocated with tools; export a UnifiedTool and register it.

Testing Guidelines

Currently no automated tests (npm test is a stub). If adding tests, place them alongside sources (e.g., src/**/__tests__) and mirror filenames.
Aim for unit coverage on parsing/execution utilities in src/utils/ and schema validation.

Commit & Pull Request Guidelines

Commits: concise, imperative subject (e.g., feat: add brainstorm tool, fix(utils): handle quota errors).
PRs: include a clear description, linked issues, reproduction steps, and sample CLI output (stdout/stderr) when relevant.
Keep changes scoped; update docs in docs/ or README.md when behavior/CLI changes.
