What is bettertouchtool-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for a macOS server that connects AI assistants to BetterTouchTool, an app for creating custom shortcuts and automations. They describe the project structure and how its parts communicate.

Use them when working on BetterTouchTool triggers, actions, variables, widgets, clipboard features, presets, configuration, or its communication layer.

They give an agent the project-specific context needed to change or review the server consistently.

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	$0.02103	$0.02103
Opus 5.5	$0.00841	$0.00841
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00421	$0.00421
Haiku 4.5	$0.00210	$0.00210

Security

Grade A, and why

bettertouchtool-mcp-server 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.
