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

mcp-server-obs 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 3d 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.

OBS Studio MCP Server - Development Instructions

Project Overview

This is a VS Code extension that provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for controlling OBS Studio. The MCP server is implemented in .NET 10, and the VS Code extension is a thin TypeScript wrapper that registers the server.

Architecture

mcp-server-obs/
├── src/ObsMcp.McpServer/       # .NET 10 MCP Server (main codebase)
│   ├── Program.cs              # Entry point with server instructions
│   ├── ObsClient.cs            # OBS WebSocket client wrapper
│   └── Tools/                  # 7 MCP tools with action enums
├── tests/ObsMcp.McpServer.Tests/  # Unit & integration tests
├── vscode-extension/           # VS Code extension (TypeScript)
│   └── src/extension.ts        # Registers MCP server with VS Code
└── ObsMcp.sln                  # .NET solution file

Key Technologies

  • .NET 10 - MCP server implementation
  • ModelContextProtocol NuGet package - MCP SDK for .NET
  • obs-websocket-dotnet - OBS WebSocket client library
  • xUnit - Unit and integration testing
  • TypeScript - VS Code extension only

MCP Tool Pattern

Tools follow the resource + action enum pattern (like mcp-server-excel):

Tool Actions
obs_connection Connect, Disconnect, GetStatus, GetStats
obs_recording Start, Stop, Pause, Resume, GetStatus, GetSettings, SetFormat, SetQuality
obs_streaming Start, Stop, GetStatus
obs_scene List, GetCurrent, Set, ListSources
obs_source AddWindowCapture, ListWindows, SetWindowCapture, Remove, SetEnabled
obs_audio GetInputs, Mute, Unmute, GetMuteState, SetVolume, GetVolume, MuteAll, UnmuteAll
obs_media SaveScreenshot, StartVirtualCamera, StopVirtualCamera

Audio Note: Recording starts with audio MUTED by default. Use muteAudio=false to include audio.

Each tool file contains:

  • An enum for actions (e.g., ConnectionAction)
  • A single [McpServerTool] method that switches on the action
  • Shared client access via ObsConnectionTool.GetClient()

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.
