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

cb-analytics-mcp-setup 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.

cb-analytics-mcp setup

You're helping the user bring up or tune a cb-analytics-mcp installation. This skill covers configuration, validation, and the operator CLI.

Required env vars (server refuses to start without these)

  • MCP_API_KEY — bearer token for Claude. Min 32 chars. Generate: python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(48))"
  • At least one of:
    • Single cluster: CB_ANALYTICS_HOST and CB_ANALYTICS_PASSWORD
    • Multi cluster: CB_ANALYTICS_CLUSTERS_FILE pointing at a JSON array
  • If GUI is enabled (default): GUI_SESSION_SECRET (≥32 chars) and a non-default GUI_PASSWORD.

Validation flow

Always recommend cb-analytics-mcp --check before make run. It returns:

  • exit 0 + a config_valid log line on success
  • exit 2 + a list of human-readable errors on failure

--check doesn't try to reach the cluster. To verify network reachability too, use the dashboard's Test Connection button after starting the server (or cb-analytics-mcp tools call ping_cluster --offline, see CLI section below).

Single vs multi-cluster decision

  • One Couchbase cluster. Use env vars only. Simpler.
  • More than one cluster (prod, stage, dev), or one cluster with separate credentials per tenant. Use CB_ANALYTICS_CLUSTERS_FILE. The file is a JSON array; each entry has name, host, username, password, and optional tls, mgmt_port, analytics_port, verify_ssl, timeout_seconds, max_retries. See config/clusters.example.json.

Tunable safety limits (sensible defaults; tune only if needed)

Env var Default What it controls
MAX_QUERY_ROWS 1000 Soft cap on execute_query / execute_query_readonly. Responses include truncated: true and full_row_count when the cap kicks in. 0 disables.
RATE_LIMIT_QUERY_PER_SEC 10 Token-bucket rate for all query tools (per API key).
RATE_LIMIT_READ_PER_SEC 60 Token-bucket rate for read-only tools (list/get/ping/…).
RATE_LIMIT_WRITE_PER_SEC 1 Token-bucket rate for mutating tools (upsert/delete user, links, restart, capella mutations, …). Intentionally conservative.
AUDIT_ROTATE_BYTES 10485760 (10 MB) Rotate audit log when it exceeds this. 0 disables rotation.
AUDIT_ROTATE_KEEP 5 How many rotated generations to keep (audit.log.1….5).

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.
