MCP-Ambari-API copilot-instructions.md

MCP-Ambari-API copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from call518/MCP-Ambari-API. It costs 908 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of coding instructions for the MCP-Ambari-API project, which connects software to Apache Ambari, a system for managing Hadoop clusters. It specifies language, architecture, transport choices, and development patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or documenting this MCP server, especially when choosing local or network transport and adding Ambari API tools.
Why use it?
It gives contributors consistent project rules for implementing Ambari operations and communicating with users.

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-Ambari-API copilot-instructions.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 4d 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.

Copilot Instructions for MCP-Ambari-API

Language Guidelines

  • Code & Development: Use English as the default language for all code, comments, documentation, and technical implementations unless explicitly requested otherwise by the user
  • User Communication: Use Korean as the default language for conversations and interactions with users through Copilot chat interface
  • Documentation: Technical documentation should be in English, while user-facing help and explanations should be in Korean

Architecture & Transport Selection

This MCP server supports dual transport modes with flexible configuration via CLI args and environment variables:

  • stdio mode: Default for local usage (uvx mcp-ambari-api)
  • streamable-http mode: For Docker/server deployment (--type streamable-http or FASTMCP_TYPE=streamable-http)

Priority: CLI args > Environment vars > Defaults. The main() function in src/mcp_ambari_api/mcp_main.py (~2181 lines) handles transport selection and runs the FastMCP server.

Core Patterns

  • Tool Definition: Every Ambari operation is an async function with @mcp.tool() + @log_tool decorators
  • API Abstraction: All Ambari REST calls go through make_ambari_request() in functions.py with automatic auth, error handling, and timing
  • Environment Configuration: Ambari connection via AMBARI_HOST, AMBARI_PORT, AMBARI_USER, AMBARI_PASS, AMBARI_CLUSTER_NAME env vars
  • Unified Tool Pattern: Modern tools like dump_configurations replace multiple specialized tools (superseded get_configurations, list_configurations)
  • Error Handling: Structured {"error": "..."} responses with HTTP status codes and timing info
  • Logging: The @log_tool decorator provides uniform timing, argument preview, and result categorization (SUCCESS/ERROR/EXCEPTION)

Development Workflows

  • Local Testing: Use run-mcp-inspector-local.sh (not scripts/) with uv to test tools interactively
  • Docker Development: docker-compose up -d starts full stack (OpenWebUI + MCP server + MCPO proxy)
  • Build & Deploy: Version-specific Docker images via build-mcp-server-docker-image.sh and build-mcpo-server-docker-image.sh
  • Package Structure: Entry point is mcp-ambari-api console script → mcp_ambari_api.mcp_main:main
  • Environment Setup: Use PYTHONPATH=./src for local development, packaged resources in mcp_ambari_api/prompt_template.md

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.
