What is QgisStreamMCP CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for an add-on that exposes a QGIS Desktop session to an AI agent. QGIS is desktop software for creating, analyzing, and displaying maps and geographic data.

Use them when developing tools for QGIS, running geographic-data workflows, creating maps and print layouts, or working with the server and its remote desktop stream.

They explain the container's connected services, the bridge into QGIS, and the available actions. This gives an agent the context needed to change or use the mapping system correctly.

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 5.1	$0.02355	$0.02355
Opus 5.5	$0.00942	$0.00942
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00471	$0.00471

Security

Grade A, and why

QgisStreamMCP 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 2mo 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.

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