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

nestr-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

By default, the MCP endpoint returns responses as SSE streams (`text/event-stream`). For integrations that prefer plain JSON (e.g., curl-based scripts, shell-based AI agents), send `Accept: application/json` **without**

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with the Nestr MCP Server.

Hard rule: no PII in commits, PRs or code

Treat every commit message, PR title and description, code comment, test fixture, and issue or review comment as public and permanent. Never put a real person's or customer's identity in one: no names, no company names, no email addresses, no phone numbers, no account, workspace or thread ids belonging to a real user.

This repo is public, so anything pushed here is world-readable the moment it lands. The rule holds in a private repo too. Repos get opened, forks and mirrors keep what you pushed, and a force-push does not reach anyone's existing clone. A private repo is a delay, not a boundary.

Refer to people by role instead: "a customer", "a workspace admin", "the PR author", "a teammate". The specifics belong in the Nestr project, the support thread, or the ticket, which is where the people who need them already look. Link to that rather than restating it.

The same rule covers the work you cite as motivation. "A customer asked for read-only API access" is the right amount of detail for a PR description; naming the customer and their company is not, and it is the most common way this leaks.

Project Overview

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to Nestr workspaces. It wraps the Nestr REST API and exposes it as MCP tools.

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.
