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 | $0.00000 | $0.01313 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00656 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00263 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-builder 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 10d 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.
Runs shell commandslowCapability
Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

FFmpeg MCP Server Development Guide
Overview
This skill guides the development of ffmpeg-mcp-lite, an MCP server that provides video and audio processing capabilities through FFmpeg.
Repository: https://github.com/kevinwatt/ffmpeg-mcp-lite PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/ffmpeg-mcp-lite/
Project Specifications
Technology Stack
- Language: Python 3.10+
- Framework: FastMCP (from mcp package)
- Package Manager: uv
- CLI Tool: FFmpeg / FFprobe
Tool Naming Convention
All tools use ffmpeg_ prefix to avoid conflicts with other MCP servers.

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.

mcp-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository kevinwatt/ffmpeg-mcp-lite (26 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,313 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

Download videos, extract audio, convert formats, and clip segments using yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Supports YouTube, Vimeo, and hundreds of other sites.
loudcheck
Loudness compliance verdicts against formal published standards — EBU R 128, ATSC A/85, or BS.1770 measure-only. Use it when audio or video has to pass a delivery gate: "is this file broadcast-legal?", "will this mix get rejected?", "how far off target is it and what's the exact fix?", batch-checking a delivery…

Operate Video Agent Runtime projects through structured MCP tools for transcript-first long-form-to-short-form editing, preview review, feedback diagnosis, narration, versioning, and approved export. Use for editing an existing runtime project; do not use for direct FFmpeg or manual project-JSON changes.

vidgrid
Give an AI agent eyes for video. Turn a local video file (MP4, MOV, WebM) into a numbered grid of frames plus a transcript that a vision model can read — so you can summarize a talk, find the exact moment something happens, read on-screen text or UI, or rank clips. Use whenever you need to watch, analyze, or…
