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

awesome-mcp-servers 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 12d 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.

- `Remote` rows skip the licence, 180-day and stub checks and are judged on CONTRIBUTING's "Hosted servers" rules instead. The gate finds the endpoint in the docs page or the repo README and `server.json`, POSTs an MCP `

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file stacks on top of the workspace root at C:\Code\GitHub\:

  • Root CLAUDE.md -- voice, rules, routing map, references, skills, slash commands, conventions.
  • Root MEMORY.md -- live facts across repos.
  • Root STATUS.md -- live PR/CI/security dashboard.
  • .claude/resources/ -- deep reference for collaboration, workflow, git, OSS, debugging, voice.

Read those first. The guidance below only adds repo-specific context -- it does not override anything in the root.

Project

Curated awesome-list of MCP servers, frameworks, clients, and resources, maintained by Sagar and open to community PRs. README.md is the product; scripts/ is the machinery that keeps its promises true.

Stack

  • Language: Markdown (the list) plus Python (the gate scripts in scripts/, stdlib only)
  • Framework: none
  • Database: none
  • Package manager: none for the list; requirements-dev.in / requirements-dev.txt hash-lock ruff and pytest for the scripts
  • Deploy target: the GitHub README, plus a static site on GitHub Pages built from it by scripts/build_site.py (site/ holds the template, CSS and JS; output _site/ is gitignored)

Run

python scripts/validate.py          # structure, format, duplicates, conflict markers (ordering is a note)
python scripts/validate.py --fix    # auto-repair ordering, table alignment, whitespace, dashes; refuses a file with conflict markers
npx --yes awesome-lint README.md     # sindresorhus/awesome's linter; pass the RELATIVE name (an absolute C:\ path reads as a URL)
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) python scripts/check_submission.py --base-ref origin/main
python scripts/check_new_links.py --base-ref origin/main   # only the links a change adds
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) python scripts/thank_contributors.py --dry-run   # who the thank-you bot would comment on
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) python scripts/staleness_report.py
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) python scripts/build_site.py      # site into _site/; without a token it builds with no stars
python -m http.server 8766 --directory _site                   # preview it

Changes

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.
