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 | $0.05802 | $0.05802 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02321 | $0.02321 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01160 | $0.01160 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00580 | $0.00580 |
Grade A, and why
renovate-mcp 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 today.
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.
Runs shell commandslowCapability
Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.
**Integration tests use stdio + fake binaries, not mocks.** `test/helpers/mcpSession.ts` spawns `dist/index.js` as a real child process and speaks JSON-RPC over stdio — so the tests exercise the actual MCP handshake and How it starts

CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
Project
MCP server that helps users design Renovate configurations interactively. TypeScript, Node ≥ 24.11 (aligns with Renovate's own engine requirement), built with @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.x, stdio transport.
Surface is intentionally small: nineteen tools (check_setup, read_config, suggest_presets, resolve_config, explain_config, resolve_config_diff, test_package_rules, preview_custom_manager, validate_config, lint_config, dry_run, dry_run_diff, annotate_dry_run, explain_dependency, explain_schedule, explain_paths, migrate_config, write_config, get_version) plus the renovate://presets resource family (namespace index, per-namespace listings, per-preset JSON), the renovate://options resource family (options index, per-option JSON), renovate://managers (manager name list), renovate://datasources (datasource id list), and four workflow prompts. Don't grow this without a reason — the roadmap for expansion is tracked in docs/roadmap.md, not in ad-hoc additions.
Commands
npm install
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit (covers src + test)
npm run build # tsc -p tsconfig.build.json → dist/
npm run dev # build watch mode
npm start # run built server over stdio
npm test # vitest run (auto-builds via pretest)
npm run test:watch # vitest watch mode
npm run test:coverage # vitest run --coverage (writes coverage/ report)
npm run generate:presets # regenerate src/data/presets.generated.ts
npm run generate:managers # regenerate src/data/managers.generated.ts

npm run generate:options # regenerate src/data/options.generated.ts
npm run generate:datasources # regenerate src/data/datasources.generated.ts
npm run sync:jsonata-pin # sync package.json's jsonata pin to Renovate's own
npm run check:snapshot-versions # fail if any src/data/*.generated.ts is stale vs installed renovate
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.
