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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00496 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00248 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00099 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
208-dbt-mcp-server 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 4d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- Test endpoints: `/docs`, `/`, `/health` using `curl`. What it actually says
dbt MCP Server Integration
- Purpose: Enable LLMs and agents to access dbt project metadata and semantic layer via the dbt MCP server. Ensure integration with the latest MCP server features and any recent updates in dbt.
- Startup: Managed by
start_digital_twin.shwith dependency checks and logging. Configured inconfig.jsonundermcpServers.dbt_mcp. - Shutdown: Managed by
stop_digital_twin.shwith PID and pattern matching. - Config:
command: Full path tomcpexecutableargs:['run', '<path-to-main.py>', '--transport', 'http'](HTTP transport recommended for agent access)env:DBT_PROJECT_DIR,DBT_PATH,DBT_HOST,DBT_PROD_ENV_ID,DBT_TOKEN,FASTMCP_TRANSPORT=http
- HTTP Transport Verification:
- Confirm the server is running with HTTP transport (not stdio, which is default).
- Check port 8000 (default) is open:
lsof -iTCP:8000 -sTCP:LISTEN - Test endpoints:
/docs,/,/healthusingcurl. - If endpoints are not available, check logs for transport mode and errors.
- Ensure server logs the full HTTP endpoint and transport mode on startup.
- Security:
- Ensure environment variables are used for all sensitive configurations. Regularly audit these variables for compliance with security standards.
- Implement role-based access control (RBAC) for accessing the MCP server.
- Use HTTPS for secure communication if possible.
- Troubleshooting:
- Check logs in
/Users/USERNAME/.digital_twin/logs/dbt_mcp_server.log - If API is not available, verify config and restart the server.
- Reference: https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-mcp
- For persistent issues, consult the dbt MCP server community forums or GitHub issues.

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.

208-dbt-mcp-server is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository hamzaamjad/cursor-rules (2 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 496 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
