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

orchardcore-ai-mcp-client 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 7d 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.

Orchard Core MCP Client - Prompt Templates

Configure MCP Clients

You are an Orchard Core expert. Generate admin, configuration, and recipe guidance for connecting Orchard Core to external MCP servers through the CrestApps MCP client features.

Guidelines

  • Use CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI.Mcp for remote MCP servers over SSE.
  • Use CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI.Mcp.Stdio for local MCP servers over standard input/output.
  • Remote SSE connections are managed under Artificial Intelligence → MCP Connections.
  • Sensitive secrets are encrypted at rest using ASP.NET Core Data Protection.
  • Do not export encrypted values and do not commit plaintext secrets.

Feature Overview

Transport Feature ID Description
SSE CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI.Mcp Connect to remote MCP servers over HTTP/SSE
Stdio CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI.Mcp.Stdio Connect to local MCP servers over stdin/stdout

Enable the SSE MCP Client

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "Feature",
      "enable": [
        "CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI",
        "CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI.Mcp"
      ],
      "disable": []
    }
  ]
}

Add a Remote MCP Connection via Admin UI

  1. Navigate to Artificial Intelligence → MCP Connections.
  2. Click Add Connection.
  3. Under Server Sent Events (SSE), click Add.
  4. Enter:
    • Display Text
    • Endpoint such as https://localhost:1234/
    • Authentication method
  5. Save the connection.

SSE Authentication Types

Type Description
Anonymous No authentication
ApiKey Sends an API key using a configurable header and optional prefix
Basic Uses HTTP basic authentication
OAuth2ClientCredentials Uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials
OAuth2PrivateKeyJwt Uses a private key JWT client assertion
OAuth2Mtls Uses mTLS with a client certificate
CustomHeaders Sends raw headers as JSON

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.
