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

valtown-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.

About ValTown

ValTown is a serverless platform for running TypeScript/JavaScript code in the cloud. Key concepts for developers:

  • Vals: Code snippets that can be HTTP endpoints, scheduled functions, or scripts
  • HTTP Vals: Functions that handle HTTP requests (similar to serverless functions)
  • Interval Vals: Functions that run on a schedule (like cron jobs)
  • Script Vals: One-time or manually triggered functions
  • Email Vals: Functions that handle incoming emails
  • API Integration: Full REST API for programmatic access to create/update/delete vals
  • Remote Execution: Code runs in ValTown's sandboxed environment with built-in npm package support

Architecture Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with access to ValTown's platform. The codebase supports two deployment modes:

  1. Local Binary Mode (mod.ts): Runs as a local MCP server using stdio transport
  2. Remote HTTP Mode (index.http.ts): Deployed on ValTown itself as an HTTP endpoint, accessible via streamable HTTP transport

The server is hosted remotely on ValTown at: https://prashamtrivedi-valtown-mcp-server.val.run/mcp

Key files:

  • mod.ts: Local stdio MCP server entry point
  • index.http.ts: Remote HTTP MCP server entry point (deployed on ValTown)
  • registerTools.ts: Tool registration with CLI exclusion support for remote deployment
  • config.ts: Configuration loading with remote/local mode support

Commands

  • Run server locally: deno task start
  • Development mode: deno task dev
  • Build binaries: deno task build
  • Platform-specific builds: deno task build:linux, deno task build:windows, deno task build:macos

Style Guidelines

  • Use TypeScript strict mode with explicit typing for function parameters/returns
  • 2-space indentation, semicolons at line ends
  • Use camelCase for variables/functions, PascalCase for types/interfaces, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants
  • Tool names use kebab-case (e.g., get-val)
  • Document all public functions with JSDoc
  • Wrap async operations in try/catch blocks and use getErrorMessage utility
  • Return consistent error responses with isError flag

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.
