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

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 6d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

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.
