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 | $0.00327 | $0.00327 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00131 | $0.00131 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00033 |
Grade A, and why
linear-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 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
CLAUDE.md — linear-mcp
Production-grade, open-source MCP server for Linear. Project 2 of 3. Full architecture & rationale: ../../06-Portfolio-Build-Plan.md (Project 2 section). Career context: ../../CLAUDE.md.
This is a PUBLIC artifact
It's open-sourced (MIT) and published to npm — it's the headline FDE deliverable. Hold a high quality bar: clean README, architecture diagram, one-line install, demo GIF/Loom.
Build conventions
- TypeScript, MCP server on
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk. zodschemas for every tool — both input and output.- 6–10 tools: search / get / create / update / comment, list teams / projects.
- Resilience is the differentiator: OAuth/token handling, rate-limit handling, retries w/ exponential backoff, pagination, idempotency, structured recoverable errors.
- Tool-use evals (right tool, right args, across N scenarios) — reuse the EvalOps harness (
evalops-sdk). - Tests with Vitest; GitHub Actions CI; publish to npm + list in an MCP registry.
Secrets
LINEAR_API_KEY (personal key for dev/tests), ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (reference agent + evals). OAuth app is a later hardening step.
Definition of done
Public repo + npm package + registry listing, green CI, tool-use eval suite, Loom of a live multi-step task.
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.
