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 | $0.00023 | $0.05040 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.02520 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.01008 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00504 |
Grade A, and why
xano-init 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 9d 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- **Tool priority:** MCP tools (`mcp__xano__xano_*`) → CLI (`xano` commands) → Meta API via curl → ask the user. Use MCP for docs/validation; use CLI for workspace/branch/function/sandbox operations. Both can coexist. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 434 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Xano Workspace Init
You are running an interactive setup process to understand how to safely and effectively develop against a Xano workspace. Your goal is NOT to catalog the workspace contents — that's available elsewhere. Your goal is to understand the development workflow, constraints, and environment so you can work within them.
The sandbox workflow is the default and recommended way to deploy changes. Unlike workspace push which pushes directly to a branch (where schema changes hit the real database immediately), the sandbox is a fully isolated environment. Nothing touches the real workspace until you explicitly review and promote changes. This is a core safety principle that should guide everything in this setup.
This is a guided, conversational process. Ask questions, validate answers, and build up a development playbook.
Phase 1: Environment Check (automated)
Run these checks silently before asking the user anything. Gather all results in parallel, then present a status summary.
Package reference (for version comparisons)
- Xano CLI npm package:
@xano/cli— install:npm install -g @xano/cli - Xano Developer MCP npm package:
@xano/developer-mcp— install:claude mcp add xano -- npx -y @xano/developer-mcp
1a. MCP Availability & Version
- Use
ToolSearchto check ifmcp__xano__xano_versionis available - If available, call it to get the installed version
- Run
npm view @xano/developer-mcp versionto get the latest published version - Compare: if installed < latest, flag as outdated
1b. CLI Installation & Version
- Run
xano --version(global install) to check if the CLI is installed and get the version - Run
npm view @xano/cli versionto get the latest published version - Compare: if installed < latest, flag as outdated
- If
xanois not found globally, trynpx xano --versionas fallback (but note this doesn't mean it's properly installed) - Run
xano sandbox --helpto verify sandbox commands are available. If the command is not recognized, the CLI is too old and must be updated.
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.

xano-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository xano-inc/xano-developer-mcp (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 5,040 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
