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 | $0.03367 | $0.03367 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01347 | $0.01347 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00673 | $0.00673 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00337 | $0.00337 |
Grade A, and why
verifyax-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 — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
Persistent project context for Claude Code. Read this first in every session.
What we're building
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the VerifyAX agent-evaluation platform as conversational tools, distributed as an npm package. Plus the typed SDK it sits on top of.
Two packages in one monorepo:
@verifyax/sdk— typed TypeScript client for the VerifyAX REST API. Reusable by any consumer, not MCP-specific.@verifyax/mcp-server— MCP server exposing 17 tools mapped to user intents. Depends on the SDK.
The MCP server complements (does not replace) the existing verifyax-api skill at https://github.com/verifyax/verifyax-plugins-claude. The skill is for developers writing code; the MCP server is for conversational workflows.
v1 scope and constraints
Update (0.2.0): the constraints below describe the v1 (0.1.x) shape. As of 0.2.0 the server also ships a Streamable HTTP transport + GCP Cloud Run deployment (
verifyax-mcp-server-http), with per-request header auth — i.e. remote hosting, previously a v2 item, has landed. The stdio +VERIFYAX_API_KEYpath below is unchanged and remains the default.
- Local distribution only. Users install via npm and configure the server in their MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop). Remote hosting is v2.
- API key auth. User pastes their VerifyAX key into MCP client config as
VERIFYAX_API_KEY. OAuth is v2. - Blocking-by-default tools. Async polling lives inside the server, invisible to Claude and the user. No
start_job/get_statuspairs in v1. - Structured errors over exceptions. Tools return
{ success: false, reason, suggested_fix }instead of throwing where possible. - Seventeen tools (v1.2 catalogue). Resist the urge to wrap every endpoint. See the catalogue below.
Architecture decisions (already made — do not re-litigate)
- Language: TypeScript. Faster-moving MCP ecosystem, better tool descriptions support.
- Package manager: pnpm with workspaces.
- SDK and MCP server are separate packages, published under the
@verifyaxnpm scope. - API client style: resource-oriented, like
stripe-node.client.agents.create(...),client.scenarios.generate(...),client.simulations.simulate(...). - Error handling: typed error hierarchy.
VerifyaxErrorbase;AuthError,NotFoundError,ConflictError,JobFailedError,TimeoutError,RateLimitErrorderived. - MCP tool errors: structured. SDK throws; the tool handler catches and translates to MCP tool-result
{ success: false, ... }payloads. Never let raw exceptions escape into MCP output. - Polling: in-SDK helper.
client.jobs.pollUntilTerminal(jobUuid, { timeoutMs, intervalMs }). Used by both SDK consumers and the MCP server. - Logging: stderr only, structured JSON, controlled by
VERIFYAX_MCP_LOG_LEVELenv. stdout is reserved for MCP protocol. - No telemetry in v1. Document this explicitly in the README.
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.
