MikroMCP: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

MikroMCP CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from AliKarami/MikroMCP. It costs 5,870 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A developer guide for MikroMCP, a server that lets coding tools call MikroTik RouterOS network-management functions. It documents commands, key files, testing, and how to add tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running the server, building and testing it, checking types and code style, locating tool registrations, and adding new RouterOS tools.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand the project structure and follow its checks before changing a service that communicates with network devices.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

This is AliKarami/MikroMCP's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on MikroMCP itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything MikroMCP configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import type { RouterOSRecord } from "../../types.js";.

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to AliKarami/MikroMCP. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

MikroMCP 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 today.

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.

Commands

npm run dev          # tsx watch hot-reload (development)
npm run build        # tsup → dist/main.js (ESM)
npm start            # run built server
npm test             # vitest run once
npm run test:watch   # vitest watch mode
npm run typecheck    # tsc --noEmit (no output, type checking only)
npm run lint         # eslint src/
npm run format       # prettier --write src/ test/

Run npm test before pushing a branch (runs vitest, tsc, and eslint).

Architecture in one sentence

MCP clients speak JSON-RPC to MikroMCP over stdio or HTTP/SSE; MikroMCP routes each tool call through a per-router circuit breaker (and retry engine for read tools) before hitting the RouterOS REST API over HTTPS.

Key file map

File What it does
src/main.ts Entry point — loads config, wires transport
src/mcp/tool-registry.ts Registers all tools with the MCP server; injects circuit breaker, retry, correlation ID, credentials
src/domain/tools/index.ts Add new tool arrays here to expose them
src/domain/tools/tool-definition.ts ToolDefinition, ToolContext, ToolResult interfaces
src/domain/errors/error-types.ts MikroMCPError, ErrorCategory enum, Recoverability
src/domain/errors/error-enricher.ts Maps HTTP/network errors to MikroMCPError
src/adapter/rest-client.ts RouterOSRestClientget, getOne, create, update, remove, execute
src/config/app-config.ts Reads MIKROMCP_* env vars
src/config/router-registry.ts Loads config/routers.yaml; getRouter(id) throws if missing
src/types.ts RouterConfig, RouterOSRecord, QueryOptions, Role

Adding a tool — the pattern

Every tool lives in src/domain/tools/. Either add to an existing file or create a new one and export from index.ts.

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.
