http-api

A coding guide for building HTTP API controllers with Express and TypeScript. It describes how controllers validate requests, call services, and format responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add controller methods for reading data by ID, returning created or paginated results, and connecting routes to services.
Why use it?
It keeps API request handling consistent and prevents validation, response-format, and asynchronous error-handling mistakes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 958 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

http-api scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 2d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Entrypoint — http-api

This file is consumed by Step 8 of the rewrite process. Apply when AUDIT_MANIFEST.projectType === "http-api".

Controller Convention

// src/modules/<domain>/<domain>.controller.ts
export class <Domain>Controller {
  constructor(private readonly service: <Domain>Service) {}

  async get<Domain>ById(req: Request, res: Response): Promise<void> {
    const { id } = validate(IdParamSchema, req.params);
    const result = await this.service.get<Domain>ById(id);
    res.status(200).json(ok(result));
  }
}

Rules:

  1. Validate all inputs with validate() at the top of each method.
  2. Use ok(), created(), or paginated() from src/lib/response.ts for all responses.
  3. Wrap Express handlers with asyncHandler (see below) during route registration.
  4. Controllers only receive service instances via constructor.

src/lib/async-handler.ts (Express only)

import type { Request, Response, NextFunction, RequestHandler } from 'express';
type AsyncFn = (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => Promise<void>;
export function asyncHandler(fn: AsyncFn): RequestHandler {
  return (req, res, next) => void fn(req, res, next).catch(next);
}

Routes — src/routes/.routes.ts

Express:

import { Router } from 'express';
import { asyncHandler } from '../lib/async-handler.js';
import { <domain>Controller } from '../lib/container.js';

const router = Router();
router.get('/:id',  asyncHandler((req, res) => <domain>Controller.get<Domain>ById(req, res)));
router.post('/',    asyncHandler((req, res) => <domain>Controller.create<Domain>(req, res)));
export { router as <domain>Routes };

Fastify:

import type { FastifyPluginAsync } from 'fastify';
export const <domain>Routes: FastifyPluginAsync = async (fastify) => {
  fastify.get('/:id', handler);
  fastify.post('/', handler);
};

src/routes/index.ts

Register all domain routers under their base path:

// Express:
app.use('/api/v1/<domain>', <domain>Routes);
// Fastify:
app.register(<domain>Routes, { prefix: '/api/v1/<domain>' });

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.

http-api is a command published in the GitHub repository Flagler-County-BoCC/mcp-forge (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 958 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
