Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is aranjan/icici-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on icici-mcp 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 icici-mcp configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/arn/icici-mcp/run.sh.

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 D, and why

icici-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 2 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 8d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

CLAUDE.md - Project Context for icici-mcp

Project Overview

icici-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ICICI Direct Breeze Connect that enables trading Indian stocks through natural conversation with any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

Architecture

User (natural language) -> AI Assistant -> icici-mcp (MCP/stdio) -> ICICI Direct Breeze API
  • Built with FastMCP (from the mcp Python package)
  • Runs as a stdio server (local, not hosted)
  • Auto-authenticates using Playwright headless Chromium + TOTP via pyotp
  • ICICI Direct blocks plain HTTP login automation — Playwright is required to render the JS login page
  • Token cached at ~/.icici_direct_token.json (expires daily)
  • Uses breeze-connect SDK for ICICI Direct API communication
  • Users must run playwright install chromium once after pip install

Broader System Context

icici-mcp is part of a multi-broker trading system:

Claude Desktop
  ├── kite-mcp          → Zerodha portfolio + orders (auto TOTP)
  ├── zerodha-official   → Free quotes for any NSE stock (browser OAuth)
  ├── icici-mcp         → ICICI Direct portfolio + orders (Playwright TOTP)
  ├── finance MCP       → Technical analysis (RSI, MACD, Bollinger, MA)
  └── Slack MCP         → Post to #kite-portfolio

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.
