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.

Security

Grade B, and why

elc-toolkit CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 2 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 5d 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

elc-toolkit

What this is

Remote, authless MCP server for the elc stream, live at https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp (docs page at the same URL in a browser; human page at /toolkit/). Five tools: get_started (routes a greeting/test/unclear message to the right tool below), get_more_tools (a real registration, 2026-09-04 — overrides @posthog/mcp's auto-injected virtual tool of the same name so a bare "hi"/"test"/"hello" ping gets the get_started menu instead of a canned "we noted your feedback" dead end; a real capability report still falls through unchanged) plus three backed by ELC's own member data — benchmark_leadership_ratio, build_partnership_business_case, assess_community_launch_readiness. Listed in registries (server.json, mcp.json).

Stack

  • Cloudflare Worker + Durable Object ElcToolkit (MCP_OBJECT), McpAgent from agents ^0.17, streamable HTTP
  • TypeScript 6, zod 4, @posthog/mcp + posthog-node for usage analytics
  • wrangler ^4.105, npm
  • Routes: engineeringleaders.io/mcp* + www.owns the /mcp* prefix; elc-partnership-builder nests under /mcp/partnership*

Run / build / deploy / test

# dev:    npm run dev
# build:  npm run type-check
# test:   none — no test script; use /ai-mcp-test for persona runs
# deploy: set -a && source ~/.env && set +a && npm run deploy

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.
