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-charts 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — bonnard-mcp-charts

OSS (MIT) horizontal MCP charting/dashboards library. A dev returns a ChartSpec/DashboardSpec from an MCP tool; the embedded widget renders it with ECharts inside the host (Claude Desktop / ChatGPT / MCP Inspector). Its own git repo (bonnard-data/mcp-charts), nested inside the outer data-mcp git and a sibling of mcp-platform — they are separate gits; Agent isolation:"worktree" can grab the wrong copy, so make a MANUAL worktree of THIS repo if isolating.

Layout

  • packages/core (@bonnard/mcp-charts, tsup) — the render compiler (resolve()), types, the DX helpers (chart/chartCell/dashboardResult/addViews), and the embedded widget HTML.
  • packages/widget (@bonnard/mcp-charts-widget, vite) — the in-iframe renderer. Builds to ONE inlined dist/index.html, embedded into core via packages/core/scripts/embed-widget.mjs -> packages/core/src/generated/widget-html.ts. Edit widget -> pnpm build re-embeds it into core.
  • examples/{dashboard,quickstart} — runnable MCP servers (stateless Streamable HTTP at /mcp).
  • packages/create-mcp-charts — the npm create @bonnard/mcp-charts scaffold generator (private).
  • Docs: docs/DEV-HARNESS.md.

Build / test

  • pnpm build — widget (single-file) then core (embeds widget). pnpm typecheck, pnpm test (199 core + 59 widget), pnpm lint, pnpm check (format + lint + typecheck).

Dev loop (pick by what you're editing)

  • Widget renderer / core inference -> pnpm dev:harness — HMR preview: the real widget in an iframe, fed specs from core resolve() (source), no build/embed/restart. (docs/DEV-HARNESS.md)
  • Driving the MCP tools -> pnpm dev:inspect — MCP Inspector against the example server (port 3011).
  • Before a release -> pnpm uat — render-pipeline gate: renders every view + all fixtures through SSR, fails on blank charts. Port 3021.
  • Fresh consumer project -> npm create @bonnard/mcp-charts my-server (local: node packages/create-mcp-charts/bin/index.mjs <dir>).

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.
