instrMCP CLAUDE.md

instrMCP CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from caidish/instrMCP. It costs 2,640 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Development instructions for instrMCP, a Python project with unit and end-to-end tests. Unit tests check code in isolation, while end-to-end tests check complete workflows using browser automation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up the project, activating its Conda environment, building the package, checking code quality, running unit tests, and carrying out browser-based tests when required.
Why use it?
It records the required development environment and the formatting, linting, type-checking, build, and testing commands needed for consistent work.

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

instrMCP 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 5d 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.

Development Commands

Environment Setup:

# Always use conda environment instrMCPdev for testing
source ~/miniforge3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh && conda activate instrMCPdev

Package Management:

pip install -e .              # Install for development
pip install -e .[dev]         # With dev dependencies
python -m build               # Build package
instrmcp version              # Test installation

Code Quality (CI Requirements - see .github/workflows/lint.yml):

black --check instrmcp/ tests/                    # Format check (must pass)
flake8 instrmcp/ tests/ --select=E9,F63,F7,F82    # Critical errors only (must pass)
flake8 instrmcp/ tests/ --max-line-length=127     # Style warnings (non-blocking)
mypy instrmcp/ --ignore-missing-imports           # Type check (non-blocking)

Testing: (Only perform it when explicitly asked)

# Unit tests (fast, no hardware required - all mocked)
pytest tests/unit/                                  # All unit tests
pytest -v                                           # Verbose
pytest --cov=instrmcp --cov-report=html             # With coverage
pytest tests/unit/test_cache.py                     # Single file
pytest -k "test_cache_initialization"               # Single test by name
pytest tests/unit/test_cache.py::TestReadCache::test_cache_initialization  # Specific test

# E2E tests (requires Playwright and browser automation)
pytest tests/e2e/ -v                                # All E2E tests
pytest tests/e2e/test_01_server_lifecycle.py -v     # Specific E2E test file
pytest tests/e2e/ -v -m p0                          # Priority 0 (critical) tests only

# Playwright tests (metadata consistency checks)
pytest tests/playwright/ -v                         # Playwright-based tests
python tests/playwright/test_metadata_consistency.py --mode snapshot  # Update metadata snapshot

Important notes:

  • Some tests may stall indefinitely, set a reasonable timeout if needed
  • E2E tests launch real JupyterLab servers and use browser automation
  • CI excludes E2E and Playwright tests (they run separately or locally)
  • Supported Python versions: 3.11, 3.12, 3.13

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.
