What is mcpli AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for working on the mcpli TypeScript project. They describe its folders, commands, coding rules, and testing setup.

Following repository structure, running builds and checks, and writing or updating tests for mcpli.

They give a coding agent the project context it needs before changing files. This reduces guesswork about where code belongs and how to build or test it.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00695	$0.00695
Opus 5.5	$0.00278	$0.00278
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00139	$0.00139

Security

Grade A, and why

mcpli AGENTS.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.

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

src/: TypeScript source. Entry is src/mcpli.ts; daemon code in src/daemon/ (runtime, IPC, wrapper); config in src/config.ts; utilities in src/utils/.
tests/: Vitest specs split by unit/, integration/, and e2e/. Test helpers in tests/test-helper.ts.
dist/: Build output (mcpli.js, daemon/wrapper.js). Do not edit manually.
scripts/: Maintenance scripts (release.sh, test-regression.sh).
Sample MCP servers for local testing: weather-server.js, test-server.js, complex-test-server.js.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

npm run build: Bundle with tsup (targets Node 22). Outputs to dist/ and sets execute bits.
npm run dev: Convenience rebuild (same as build) for iterative work.
npm run typecheck: TypeScript checks without emit.
npm run lint | npm run lint:fix: Lint (ESLint) and optionally fix.
npm test: Run all tests (Vitest). Variants: test:unit, test:integration, test:e2e, coverage.
Local CLI example: ./dist/mcpli.js --help -- node weather-server.js.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

Formatting: Prettier (2‑space indent, single quotes, semicolons, trailing commas, width 100). Check with npm run format:check; write with npm run format.
Linting: ESLint + TypeScript ESLint. In src/, avoid any, prefer explicit return types, and do not import *.js from TS (no-restricted-imports).
File names: use kebab-case for files, PascalCase for types/classes, camelCase for variables/functions.

Testing Guidelines

Framework: Vitest with Node environment; coverage via V8 (text, html, lcov).
Location/patterns: tests/**/**/*.test.ts. Keep fast unit tests under tests/unit and heavier flows under integration/e2e.
Isolation: use helpers in tests/test-helper.ts (temp dirs, daemon polling) for stable daemon tests.

Commit & Pull Request Guidelines

Use Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:, test:, chore:). Example: feat: add daemon status subcommand.
PRs: include a clear description, linked issues (closes #123), test instructions, and update CHANGELOG.md when user-facing.
Pre‑merge checklist: npm run build, npm run typecheck, npm run lint, and passing tests.

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.
