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	$0.00143	$0.00143
Opus 5.5	$0.00057	$0.00057
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00029	$0.00029

Security

Grade A, and why

India-MCP copilot-instructions.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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Copilot Instructions for MCP Registry

Important: Publishing MCP servers

The data/seed.json file is seed data for local development only. Do NOT create pull requests that add or modify server entries in data/seed.json to publish a server.

To publish an MCP server to the registry, use the mcp-publisher CLI tool. See docs/modelcontextprotocol-io/quickstart.mdx for instructions.

Development

Use make targets where possible (run make help to see available targets)
Run make check to run lint, unit tests, and integration tests
Run make dev-compose to start the local development environment

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.
