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 | $0.00876 | $0.00876 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00350 | $0.00350 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00175 | $0.00175 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00088 | $0.00088 |
Grade A, and why
google-knowledge-graph-mcp 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 22d 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 — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Instructions for AI coding agents (OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Claude Code and others) working in this repo. Human-facing docs live in README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.
What this is
An MCP server (stdio) for Google's free public Knowledge Graph Search API. Two tools: search_knowledge_graph (query search) and lookup_knowledge_graph_entities (lookup by MID). Published to npm as @houtini/google-knowledge-graph-mcp and to the MCP Registry as io.github.houtini-ai/google-knowledge-graph.
Scope: the free public API only, never the Enterprise API. Keep it small: two runtime dependencies, no new ones without a reason.
Commands
- Install:
npm install - Build:
npm run build(tsc todist/) - Type-check only:
npm run type-check - Run:
node dist/index.js(needsGOOGLE_KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH_API_KEYin the environment)
There is no automated test suite yet. Do not claim tests pass. Verify a change with npm run type-check, then npm run build, then a real call through an MCP client (see "Trying a change" below).
Layout
src/index.ts- MCP server: tool definitions (JSON schema) and the request handlers that shape the output.src/client.ts- Knowledge Graph HTTP client, API-key check, andexplainApiError(turns Google's error JSON into an actionable message).src/version.ts- reads the version from package.json at runtime. Never hardcode a version string in source.server.json- MCP Registry manifest.
Rules that bite
- stdout is the protocol. It carries MCP JSON-RPC. Never
console.log; diagnostics go to stderr (console.error,process.stderr.write). - CommonJS output.
tsconfig.jsoncompiles tomodule: commonjs;version.tsrelies on__dirname. Keep relative imports with the.jssuffix (./client.js), as the existing code does. - The API key travels in the URL query (Google's requirement). Never log a request URL, a key, or the environment. Error messages may include Google's response body, never the URL.
- Key kinds: a Google Cloud key (
AIza..., 39 chars) works; a Google AI Studio key (AQ.) never does. KeepexplainApiErrorand the boot-time warning in step with that. - Env vars:
GOOGLE_KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH_API_KEY, orGOOGLE_CLOUD_API_KEYas the fallback. Never read or write.env;.env.exampleis the documented shape. - Tool contract: tool names and input schemas are public API for every client that has this server installed. Renaming or removing a field is a breaking change: call it out, don't slip it in.
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.

google-knowledge-graph-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository houtini-ai/google-knowledge-graph-mcp (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 876 tokens to every session, about $0.0035 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-03.
