What is qui-mcp AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for qui-mcp, a server that connects AI agents to qui's API for monitoring and managing qBittorrent and related services.

Use them when developing or reviewing qui-mcp, including torrent management, RSS, automations, cross-seeding, and backups.

They document the project's testing rules, release process, versioning commands, and conventions for wrapping API operations as tools.

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	$0.01106	$0.01106
Opus 5.5	$0.00442	$0.00442
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00221	$0.00221

Security

Grade A, and why

qui-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 41 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — qui-mcp

MCP server exposing qui's JSON REST API as tools for monitoring and managing qBittorrent instances, torrents, automations, cross-seeding, RSS, backups, and related services. Uses FastMCP, uv for deps.

Exposed as 12 resource-scoped portmanteau tools, not one tool per route — see "API wrapper conventions" below. A prior version registered all 214 routes individually (this was qui-mcp's biggest source of tool-count bloat in the fleet, even though grep -c '@mcp.tool' reported 0 since routes were registered via mcp.tool()(tool) calls, not decorators); that blew the MCP context budget (~214 tools × ~250 tokens ≈ 54k tokens just for this one server) and has been retired.

Testing

Offline suite: make test (or uv run pytest)
Live integration (needs QUI_URL/QUI_API_KEY): make test-integration

Release workflow

Always use the make bump-* targets to bump the version (uv version --bump patch|minor|major), which updates pyproject.toml and uv.lock together. Do NOT edit the version by hand.

Bump: make bump-patch (or bump-minor / bump-major)
Commit message is just the version, e.g. 0.1.2 — nothing else.
Tag it v<version> (e.g. v0.1.2).

Push main and the tag:

git push origin main
git push origin v<version>

Deploy to the Proxmox host (root SSH key): pull the repo then reinstall the uv tool:
```
ssh [email protected] -- 'cd /root/qui-mcp && git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/main'
ssh [email protected] -- 'cd /root/qui-mcp && uv tool install --force .'
```
The host runs it via uv tool install → /root/.local/bin/qui-mcp (not from the repo). There is no /home/savagecore/Documents/christopfarr/mcp/qui-mcp copy.

API wrapper conventions

Add or remove API coverage in _ROUTES; do not hand-register duplicate tools.
Route naming (internal, no longer an MCP tool name): qui_ prefix and snake_case. arguments.operation's dispatch resolves to a route via spec_of: path variables at top level of arguments, query values under arguments.params, JSON request data under arguments.body.
Preserve X-API-Key authentication; omit the header when QUI_API_KEY is unset. Keep SSE/binary endpoints out of structured MCP tools.
Keep _req as the single HTTP/error-handling path so error messages stay consistent and MockTransport tests remain straightforward.

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.
