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 | $0.03789 | $0.03789 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01516 | $0.01516 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00758 | $0.00758 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00379 | $0.00379 |
Grade A, and why
meal-planner-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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 281 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md — Meal Planner guidance
Read this first. It's the contract for working in this repo with an agent: what the pieces are, how to run and test, the design decisions and why they were made, and the deliberate simplifications (each one a good place to extend).
What this is
A self-contained MCP server that plans a week of meals from a local recipe library. It optimizes for ingredient overlap (buy shared things once), reuses serving-surplus leftovers (a big-batch cook covers extra nights), and avoids recently-cooked recipes — then produces a consolidated shopping list and a Markdown plan doc.
Single-user by design. No auth, no cloud, no external API. It clones and runs
with zero credentials — the bundled data/recipes.seed.json is enough to plan
a week immediately.
Why this is an MCP and not just a prompt
The honest test for whether a tool earns its place: does it give the model something it can't do alone? There are four such things, and this hits all four — which is the whole justification for the project:
| Need | Plain Claude | This MCP |
|---|---|---|
| Suggest a generic meal | ✅ fine | (a tool would add nothing) |
| Plan around your recipe library | ❌ doesn't know it | ✅ grounded in local data (#3 private data) |
| Remember what you ate, avoid repeats | ❌ no cross-session memory | ✅ state.json history (#1 persistence) |
| Produce a plan + list that persists | ❌ can't write files | ✅ Markdown export (#2 side effects) |
| Merge/scale ingredients exactly | ❌ hand-waves arithmetic | ✅ deterministic aggregate (#4 exact compute) |
When changing or adding a tool, ask which of the four it serves. If the answer is "none — Claude already does this well," it probably shouldn't be a tool.
Architecture: pure core + thin adapters
The logic is pure and I/O-free, so it's all unit-tested without a runtime. Two
adapters (MCP server, CLI) wire the same functions to the outside world; one
module (store.py) is the only thing that touches the filesystem.
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.
