db-mcp AGENTS.md

db-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from apelogic-ai/db-mcp. It costs 1,444 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for db-mcp, a server that lets people query databases with natural language. The project is a monorepo, meaning one repository contains several related packages, including Python code, shared models, and a Next.js interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying db-mcp's core code, shared data models, user interface, documentation, or database-query features.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the project structure, technology choices, supported databases, and key rules needed to change the repository consistently.

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

db-mcp AGENTS.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 5d 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.

Project Overview

db-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables Claude Desktop to query databases using natural language. It was extracted from the semantic-grid project as a standalone component.

Core capabilities:

  • Introspects database schemas automatically
  • Builds a semantic understanding of data through interactive onboarding
  • Generates and validates SQL from natural language
  • Supports multiple database backends

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.
