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 | $0.00893 | $0.00893 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00447 | $0.00447 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00179 | $0.00179 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00089 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
graphics-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 6d 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.

Project Overview
graphics-mcp is a unified MCP server for graphics manipulation with multiple backends, providing image processing capabilities via the Model Context Protocol.
Key Dependencies: Python 3.13+, mcp-common, Pillow/pilkit
Core Features
- Image Operations: Get info, convert, resize, crop, rotate, flip
- Filters: Apply effects (blur, sharpen, grayscale, etc.)
- Thumbnails: Generate thumbnails with configurable sizes
- Security: Path validation, file size limits, allowed directories
Most Common Commands
# Start HTTP MCP server (factory default)
graphics-mcp start
# Run local health probe
graphics-mcp health
The server is bound via environment variables: GRAPHICS_HTTP_HOST and
GRAPHICS_HTTP_PORT (defaults 127.0.0.1 and 3040). Allowed directories are
configured via GRAPHICS_ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES (JSON array form, e.g.
'["/tmp", "/Users/les/Pictures", "/Users/les/Downloads"]').
Critical Rules
1. SECURITY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
- NEVER allow arbitrary file paths
- ALWAYS validate paths against allowed directories
- ALWAYS enforce file size limits
- NEVER expose internal filesystem structure
2. PATH VALIDATION
- All image paths must be within allowed directories
- Use
GRAPHICS_ALLOWED_DIRECTORIESenvironment variable - Validate before any file operation
3. NO PLACEHOLDERS - EVER
- NEVER use dummy data orplaceholder images
- ALWAYS use proper configuration
4. MCP-COMMON PATTERNS
- Follow mcp-common patterns for server lifecycle
- Use MCPServerCLIFactory for CLI commands
- Inherit from base settings classes
Configuration
Set via environment variables with GRAPHICS_ prefix:
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
GRAPHICS_ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES |
JSON-array list of allowed paths (e.g. '["/tmp", "/data"]') |
- |
GRAPHICS_MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB |
Maximum file size | 100 |
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.

graphics-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository lesleslie/graphics-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 893 tokens to every session, about $0.0045 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.
