What is Strapi_MCP CLAUDE.md?

A set of Claude Code instructions for developing a Strapi MCP server. Strapi is a content-management system, and MCP is a way for an AI assistant to connect to tools.

Use it when building, compiling, running, configuring, or manually testing this TypeScript Strapi MCP server.

It gives contributors shared commands, coding conventions, configuration guidance, and a way to test the server when no formal test suite exists.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00688	$0.00688
Opus 5.5	$0.00275	$0.00275
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00138	$0.00138
Haiku 4.5	$0.00069	$0.00069

Security

Grade A, and why

Strapi_MCP CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

Strapi MCP Server Development Guide

Development Commands

npm run build - Compile TypeScript to build/ directory and make executable
npm run build:watch - Build with watch mode for development
npm run start - Start the compiled server from build/index.js
npm run dev - Run directly with ts-node for development
npm run dev:watch - Run with nodemon for hot reload during development
npm run prepublishOnly - Prepare for publishing (runs build automatically)

Testing

No formal test suite exists; test manually using MCP client
Use Claude Desktop or other MCP clients for integration testing
Configuration testing: create test config in ~/.mcp/strapi-mcp-server.config.json

Code Style Guidelines

TypeScript: Use strict mode with ES2022 target
Imports: Use ES modules (import/export)
Naming: camelCase for variables/functions, PascalCase for types/interfaces
Error Handling: Use try/catch blocks with specific error types
Types: Prefer explicit typing over implicit, use interfaces for object shapes
Comments: JSDoc for public functions, inline for complex logic
Async: Use async/await pattern for asynchronous code
Structure: Group related functions together, export interfaces/types
Formatting: 2-space indentation, semicolons required

Project Architecture

Single TypeScript file (src/index.ts) implements the entire MCP server
Built on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk with stdio transport for CLI usage
Configuration loaded from ~/.mcp/strapi-mcp-server.config.json
Server implements Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Strapi CMS
Serves as middleware between AI assistants and Strapi instances
Handles schema introspection, REST operations, media uploads
Current version focuses on security and version compatibility
Supports both Strapi v4 and v5 with automatic version detection

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.
