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 B, and why

rudder-mcp-setup scanned grade B 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 12d 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.

RudderStack MCP Setup

Configure Claude Code to connect to RudderStack's hosted MCP server at mcp.rudderstack.com. Authoritative reference: https://mcp.rudderstack.com/docs.

Setup Workflow

1. Check Prerequisites ──► which npx
         │
         ├── Found ──► Configure Claude Code
         │
         └── Not Found ──► Install Node.js first

2. Configure Claude Code
         │
         ├── Option A: /mcp command (recommended)
         │
         └── Option B: Edit settings.json directly

3. Authenticate (OAuth) ──► Browser opens, sign in to RudderStack

4. Verify Connection ──► Restart Claude, list workspace resources

Step 1: Check Prerequisites

which npx

If found: Continue to Step 2.

If not found: Install Node.js first from https://nodejs.org/ (includes npx).

Step 2: Configure Claude Code

Option A: Using /mcp Command (Recommended)

/mcp add rudderstack

Follow the prompts:

  1. Server name: rudderstack
  2. Transport type: http (via mcp-remote)
  3. URL: https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp

Option B: Manual Configuration

Edit your Claude Code settings file.

Settings File Locations
Platform Path
macOS / Linux ~/.claude/settings.json
Windows %APPDATA%\claude\settings.json
Add MCP Server Configuration

Add under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rudderstack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Authenticate (OAuth)

The first time you invoke an MCP tool, mcp-remote opens your browser:

  1. Sign in with your RudderStack account (email/password)
  2. Review and approve the MCP integration's requested permissions
  3. The browser redirects back; the session is established

No long-lived tokens to manage — OAuth handles the handshake per session.

Step 4: Verify Connection

Restart Claude Code

After configuration, restart Claude Code:

  • Close and reopen the terminal session, or
  • Restart the Claude Code application

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.
