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 | $0.01007 | $0.01007 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00504 | $0.00504 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00201 | $0.00201 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00101 | $0.00101 |
Grade A, and why
academic-tools-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 yesterday.
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 — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
What This Is
A FastMCP-based MCP server wrapping academic APIs (see README.md for the
provider table). It exists primarily to support an academic notes/blog workflow:
verifying paper metadata, authors, and institutions, generating BibTeX, and
exploring reference/citation graphs.
Commands
uv run pytest -v # Run the test suite
uv run python -m academic_tools_mcp.server # Run the MCP server
ENABLE_DEBUG_TOOLS=1 uv run python -m academic_tools_mcp.server # + the get_server_stats tool
Changelog & versioning
Before opening a PR, add a bullet to ## [Unreleased] in
CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog format) under the right
Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed heading, referencing the PR number
(e.g. ([#12])) with a matching link definition at the bottom of the file. Skip
only for changes with no user-facing effect (pure refactors, internal docs,
test-only edits).
Releases are cut deliberately, not per-merge. Calendar versioning: rename
[Unreleased] to ## [YYYY.MM.DD] — YYYY-MM-DD, bump version in
pyproject.toml to match (PEP 440 drops leading zeros: tag v2026.05.29 ↔
version 2026.5.29), and tag the commit vYYYY.MM.DD.
Where the detail lives
Design detail lives in .claude/rules/*.md, each auto-loading from its own
paths: frontmatter when you touch a matching file. Those files state only
what a docstring beside the code cannot: cross-module contracts, upstream API
facts, accepted limitations, and prohibitions.

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.

academic-tools-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository hunter-heidenreich/academic-tools-mcp (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 1,007 tokens to every session, about $0.0050 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.
