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

create 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are scaffolding a new project using the Starter Series templates via the create-starter MCP server.

How to invoke

The create-starter MCP server exposes two tools. Use them directly — do not shell out to curl, tar, or git clone.

  • list_templates — returns the full template table as JSON.
  • create_project — scaffolds a new project.

Workflow

  1. Pick a template. If the user named one explicitly, resolve it against the registry below. If not, call list_templates and ask the user to pick one.
  2. Collect required input:
    • name (required) — project name. Must match ^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9_-]*$ (alnum start, then [A-Za-z0-9_-] only). No dots, no spaces, no path separators.
    • description (optional) — one-line description that replaces the template default.
    • output_dir (optional) — where to create the project. Defaults to ./<name> relative to the MCP server's cwd.
  3. Call create_project with the gathered arguments. The server handles download, extraction, placeholder substitution, Python package renaming, and git init.
  4. Report the next steps from the tool's response (it returns a cd-then-install sequence tuned to the template).

Template registry

ID Name Category
mcp-server MCP Server (TypeScript) mcp
mcp-server-python MCP Server (Python) mcp
npm-package npm Package package
browser-extension Browser Extension (MV3) extension
vscode-extension VS Code Extension extension
docker-deploy Docker Deploy (language-agnostic) deploy

Call list_templates for the authoritative, up-to-date list with full metadata.

Rules

  • Never invent template IDs. Only use IDs returned by list_templates or present in the table above.
  • Never construct tarball URLs or shell commands yourself — always go through create_project.
  • If the tool returns an isError: true response, surface the message verbatim and stop; do not retry with a different name unless the user asks.
  • After a successful scaffold, suggest reviewing .env.example if the output mentions environment variables, and remind the user that git init has already run — they just need to add a remote.
  • Keep your response concise: one line confirming the template + name, then the next-step commands as a code block.

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.
