agent-cost-mcp CLAUDE.md

agent-cost-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from vk0dev/agent-cost-mcp. It costs 273 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for developing AgentCost MCP, a tool that estimates Claude Code usage costs from local session logs. It documents the code structure, commands, tests, linting, smoke checks, and release process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on AgentCost MCP, including running its checks, changing its parser or pricing table, understanding its architecture, or preparing a release.
Why use it?
It gives contributors a shared way to build, test, publish, and maintain the project. It also records that cost estimates are approximate and based on configuration.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

agent-cost-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 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.

What it actually says

AgentCost MCP

Stack

  • TypeScript, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, Zod
  • Vitest for unit tests

Commands

  • Install: npm ci
  • Build: npm run build
  • Test: npm test
  • Lint: npm run lint
  • Smoke test: npm run smoke

Publishing

  • See PUBLISHING.md for full marketplace playbook
  • Version sync: package.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, server.json, src/createServer.ts
  • Release: git tag -a vX.Y.Z && git push --follow-tags → CI publishes to npm

Architecture

  • src/createServer.ts — McpServer factory, exports createServer() and createSandboxServer() (Smithery)
  • src/server.ts — CLI/stdio entry point, uses createServer()
  • src/tools/index.ts — 4 MCP tools registration
  • src/parser.ts — JSONL session log parser
  • src/pricing.ts — config-driven pricing table

Notes

  • Parses Claude Code JSONL session logs from ~/.claude/projects/...
  • Cost estimation is approximate and config-driven
  • Local-first, zero network egress
Changes

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.
