autodoc-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

autodoc-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from bradleyfay/autodoc-mcp. It costs 5,520 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for AutoDocs MCP Server, which supplies AI assistants with documentation for Python dependencies matched to their versions. They describe its layered architecture and services for parsing, resolving, fetching, and caching dependency information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on Python dependency parsing, version resolution, documentation fetching, caching, conflict detection, or context generation.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project structure and intended behavior needed to change documentation lookup without breaking dependency handling.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is bradleyfay/autodoc-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on autodoc-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 autodoc-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/bradleyfay/autodocs.

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

autodoc-mcp 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 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.

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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is the AutoDocs MCP Server project - a fully implemented Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that automatically provides AI assistants with contextual, version-specific documentation for Python project dependencies. The goal is to eliminate manual package documentation lookup and provide more accurate AI coding assistance.

Architecture

The project follows a modular, layered architecture with comprehensive separation of concerns. The system is organized into several key layers:

Core Services Layer (src/autodocs_mcp/core/)

  • dependency_parser.py: PyProject.toml parsing with graceful degradation for malformed dependencies
  • dependency_resolver.py: Enhanced dependency resolution with conflict detection
  • version_resolver.py: Version constraint resolution using PyPI API
  • doc_fetcher.py: PyPI documentation fetching with concurrent request handling
  • cache_manager.py: High-performance JSON file-based caching with version-specific keys
  • context_fetcher.py: Phase 4 comprehensive context fetching with dependency analysis
  • context_formatter.py: AI-optimized documentation formatting with token management
  • network_client.py: HTTP client abstraction with retry logic and connection pooling
  • network_resilience.py: Advanced network reliability with circuit breakers and backoff
  • error_formatter.py: Structured error handling with user-friendly messages

Infrastructure Layer (src/autodocs_mcp/)

  • main.py: FastMCP server with 8 MCP tools, graceful shutdown, and async lifecycle management
  • config.py: Comprehensive configuration management with environment validation
  • security.py: Input validation and security controls
  • observability.py: Metrics collection, performance tracking, and monitoring
  • health.py: Health checks for orchestration and load balancing
  • models.py: Pydantic data models for type safety
  • exceptions.py: Custom exception hierarchy with error context

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.
