Asides

#Grist shipped an official MCP server, which should be a big win.

But if you self-host, you need the full/Enterprise edition to actually use it.

So the people most likely to want MCP for private, local, agent-driven workflows are the ones gated out. What a waste of potential.

I keep seeing these references to MCP server of the #Grist changelog, but where is the full MCP server documentation? Where’s the official one, at least? #GetGrist

Claude Fable is not “slightly more expensive” — it’s a premium tier.

API pricing per 1M tokens:

Fable: $10 input / $50 output Opus: $5 input / $25 output Sonnet: $3 input / $15 output

So Fable is 2× Opus and about 3.33× Sonnet. For most coding/finance/reporting workflows, Sonnet still feels like the default; Opus for hard tasks; Fable only when it materially reduces turns or rework.
