rutherford-mcp-server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

rutherford-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from chapmanjw/rutherford-mcp-server. It costs 167 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A short Claude Code instruction file for the Rutherford MCP server project. It tells Claude Code to use AGENTS.md as the project's authoritative instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to provide Claude Code with the canonical project instructions stored in AGENTS.md.
Why use it?
It avoids keeping two separate copies of project guidance that could become inconsistent. The file also preserves an import line required for the instructions to load correctly.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is chapmanjw/rutherford-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on rutherford-mcp-server 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 rutherford-mcp-server configures →

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

rutherford-mcp-server 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.

CLAUDE.md · 13 lines

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md and does not read AGENTS.md, so this file exists to point at the one that does the work. AGENTS.md is canonical for every agent; keep instructions there, not here, so there is one copy to keep true.

The line below is an import, not a link. Leave it in exactly this case: it resolves on a case-insensitive filesystem either way, and only fails on Linux and macOS, which is the worst place to learn about it. A missing import target is silent — no error, no warning, just a session with no project context at all — so tests/test_agent_docs.py fails the build if this ever stops resolving.

Changes

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.
