What is etsy-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for an Etsy MCP server, including its project structure, configuration, OAuth setup, and development commands. Etsy is an online marketplace where sellers manage product listings and shops.

Use them when developing the server, configuring Etsy API credentials, managing its shop and listing tools, or building the TypeScript code.

They give the agent the project-specific details needed to change or run the server safely.

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	$0.00879	$0.00879
Opus 5	$0.00439	$0.00439
Sonnet 5	$0.00176	$0.00176
Haiku 4.5	$0.00088	$0.00088

Security

Grade A, and why

etsy-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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to etsy-mcp-server CLAUDE.md — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.
