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 A, and why

yfinance-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 9d 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.

  • npm run lint - Run Biome linter on src/ folder
  • npm run lint:fix - Run Biome linter with automatic fixes
  • npm run format - Format code using Biome
  • npm run check - Run Biome lint and format checks
  • npm run check:fix - Run Biome lint and format with automatic fixes
  • npm run typecheck - Run TypeScript type checking
  • npm test - Run all tests in tests/ directory using tsx test runner
  • npm run test:individual - Run individual test files with tsx --test
  • npm install - Install dependencies

Make Commands

  • make build - Build the project
  • make test - Run tests
  • make lint - Run linter
  • make check - Run format/lint checks
  • make typecheck - Run TypeScript type checking
  • make check-all - Run all checks (build, test, lint, check, typecheck)
  • make prepare - Run all checks and prepare for publishing (npm pack --dry-run)
  • make publish - Build, test, lint, and publish to npm

Project Architecture

  • Entry Point: src/index.ts contains the MCP server implementation with the main getStockAnalysis tool
  • CLI Entry Point: src/cli.ts provides a local command-line wrapper that reuses the same analysis pipeline
  • Technical Indicators Library: src/lib/technical-indicators/ contains a comprehensive technical analysis system:
    • Core Components: TechnicalAnalyzer class for coordinated analysis with AI-friendly reporting
    • Individual Indicators: RSI (extended), MACD, Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, VWAP, Volume Analysis, Cross Detection
    • Financial Indicators: Enterprise financial metrics, moving average deviation analysis
    • Utilities: Calculator, DataProcessor, ValidationUtils, Japanese report generator
    • Type System: Comprehensive TypeScript interfaces and error classes with Graceful Degradation
  • MCP Server: Uses @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to create a server that communicates via stdio
  • Yahoo Finance Integration: Uses yahoo-finance2 library to fetch stock data and financial metrics
  • Testing: Comprehensive test suite covering individual indicators and utility functions

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.
