What is mcp-limitless CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for mcp-limitless, a server connecting AI assistants to personal recordings from Limitless AI, including development and build commands.

Use them when maintaining mcp-limitless or choosing between its HTTP streaming and older standard-input interfaces.

They give a coding agent the project purpose and the commands needed to install, develop, build, and run the server.

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	$0.00918	$0.00918
Opus 5.5	$0.00367	$0.00367
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00184	$0.00184
Haiku 4.5	$0.00092	$0.00092

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-limitless 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.

Architecture Overview

The project follows a clean modular architecture:

Core Components

src/limitless/client.ts: Encapsulates all Limitless AI API interactions via Axios. Implements centralized error handling and tool registration.
src/limitless/types.ts: TypeScript type definitions for Limitless AI API and configuration.

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.
