mcp-elicit: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp-elicit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from blizzy78/mcp-elicit. It costs 1,367 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an MCP server that lets AI assistants ask people for structured answers, such as text, choices, numbers, dates, emails, and web addresses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Useful when developing or maintaining the mcp-elicit server, especially its user prompts, data validation, communication methods, and MCP tools.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project’s purpose and explain how its communication and tools are organised, making the codebase easier to navigate.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is blizzy78/mcp-elicit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-elicit 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 mcp-elicit configures →

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

mcp-elicit 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 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.

Elicitation MCP Server

Project Description

The Elicitation MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides user elicitation capabilities for AI applications. The server enables AI assistants to prompt users for structured input through various elicitation tools, supporting different data types and validation patterns. It acts as a bridge between AI systems and human users, allowing for interactive data gathering in conversational AI workflows.

The project implements the MCP specification and provides a comprehensive set of tools for soliciting user input, including free-form text, multiple choice options, numbers, booleans, dates, email addresses, and URIs. Each interaction supports user actions to accept, decline, or cancel prompts, providing a robust user experience.

High-Level Architecture

Transport Layer Architecture

The project follows a modular transport pattern with three distinct communication protocols:

┌─────────────┐    ┌──────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐
│   Client    │    │  MCP Transport   │    │  Elicit Server  │
│             │◄──►│                  │◄──►│                 │
│   (AI/Bot)  │    │ • STDIO          │    │ • Tool Registry │
│             │    │ • SSE            │    │ • Elicitation   │
└─────────────┘    │ • HTTP           │    │ • Validation    │
                   └──────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘

Transport Implementations:

  • STDIO (stdio.ts): Command-line interface using standard input/output for direct integration with CLI applications
  • SSE (sse.ts): Server-Sent Events over HTTP for web-based real-time communication with session management
  • HTTP (streamableHttp.ts): Full HTTP server with session management, resumability, and connection lifecycle handling

Core Components:

  • Entry Point (index.ts): Dynamic transport dispatcher that loads the appropriate communication module based on command-line arguments
  • Server Factory (elicit.ts): Creates configured MCP server instances with tool capabilities and elicitation features
  • Tool Registry (tools/index.ts): Centralized registry of all available elicitation tools with handlers and schemas

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.
