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 | $0.00661 | $0.00661 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00264 | $0.00264 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00132 | $0.00132 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00066 | $0.00066 |
Grade A, and why
talonic-mcp 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 34 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md — Claude Code entry point for talonic-mcp
Full agent orientation lives in AGENTS.md. Read it first — it covers the repo map, the thirty-six tools, the browser-handoff upload architecture, the CI/publish chain, and the common workflows. This file repeats only the two things you must not get wrong, plus the commands you'll use every session.
This repo is the Talonic MCP server (@talonic/mcp): document-extraction API exposed as MCP tools, running over stdio (local installs) and Streamable HTTP (mcp.talonic.com, for Claude.ai connectors).
⚠️ Before touching docs content — two parallel surfaces
src/content/sections/*.ts→@talonic/mcp/content→ renderstalonic.com/docs/mcp/*.docs/sections.json→@talonic/docs(synced via the platform repo) → becomes that package'smcpcontent domain, which nothing currently renders. It does not feed/docs/{sdk,api,platform}/*— those have their own content in the platform monorepo.
Edit the wrong one and your change silently never appears. docs/sections.json is maintained-but-dormant: the publish workflow's docs-drift guard still requires it to stay in step with src/tools/**, so keep it accurate, but user-visible MCP docs only come from src/content/sections/*.ts. The full map, the add-a-tool checklist, the failure-mode table, and the CI-token map are in docs/architecture/docs-pipeline.md. Read it before any non-trivial doc change.
⚠️ A push to main is a release
.github/workflows/publish.yml auto-bumps the version, publishes to npm + the MCP Registry, cuts a GitHub Release, and redeploys mcp.talonic.com. Don't push casually. The docs-drift guard fails the run if src/tools/**, src/http-server.ts, src/server-factory.ts, or src/resources/** changed without docs/sections.json — opt out with [skip docs] only for genuinely non-doc-affecting changes.
Quick commands
npm test # vitest, must pass before pushing
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit
npm run format:check # prettier check (npm run format to fix)
npm run build # tsup → dist/{index,server,http-server,content}.js
npm run start:http # local hosted-MCP server on :3000
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.
