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 | $0.02635 | $0.02635 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01054 | $0.01054 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00527 | $0.00527 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00264 | $0.00264 |
Grade C, and why
gitlab-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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.

Claude Code Development Guide - GitLab MCP Server
Ground Rules
Test-Driven Development (TDD) - MANDATORY
ALWAYS write tests first. Watch them fail. Then build code to pass them.
- Red: Write a failing test that defines desired behavior
- Green: Write minimal code to make the test pass
- Refactor: Improve code while keeping tests green
No exceptions. No shortcuts. No "I'll add tests later."
Code Coverage Requirements
- Minimum: 80% code coverage per phase
- Target: 100% test pass rate
- Gate: Cannot proceed to next phase without meeting both criteria
Phase Gate Criteria
Before moving to next phase, ALL must be true:
- ✅ All phase tests written (TDD process followed)
- ✅ 100% of tests passing (no failures, no skips)
- ✅ ≥80% code coverage for phase code
- ✅ Phase documentation complete
- ✅ Session logs updated
- ✅

Session Management Protocol
CRITICAL: Always maintain continuity between sessions.
Starting a Session (After Context Reset)
- Read this file (
CLAUDE.md) for ground rules - Read
docs/gitlab-mcp-server-prd.mdfor product requirements and feature specs - Read
next_session_plan.mdfor current state and next steps - Review current phase documentation
- Check test coverage and status
During Session
- Follow TDD rigorously
- Update documentation as you go
- Track decisions and issues
- Run tests frequently
Ending a Session (MANDATORY BEFORE CONTEXT RESET)
- Archive current session to
docs/session_management/sessions/ - Update
docs/session_management/session_index.md - MOST CRITICAL: Update
next_session_plan.mdwith:- Current phase and exact progress
- What was completed this session
- Current test coverage numbers
- Any blockers or issues
- Specific next steps (file names, function names, line numbers)
- Ensure all tests are passing
- Commit if at stable checkpoint
Documentation Requirements
Code Documentation
- Docstrings: Every module, class, and function
- Type Hints: All function signatures
- Inline Comments: For complex logic only
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.

gitlab-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository wadew/gitlab-mcp (5 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,635 tokens to every session, about $0.0105 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
