mcp-geo: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

mcp-geo copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from chris-page-gov/mcp-geo. It costs 877 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for mcp-geo, a FastAPI server that exposes tools and data through standard HTTP and command-line interfaces. They describe the code structure, testing commands, and rules for handling errors and request tracking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or changing tools, running the server, or testing the mcp-geo project.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project’s conventions before it changes code, helping it place new tools correctly and keep existing interfaces consistent.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is chris-page-gov/mcp-geo's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on mcp-geo 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 mcp-geo 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

mcp-geo 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 9d 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 (mcp-geo)

Big picture

  • FastAPI server in server/main.py exposing MCP-style HTTP endpoints: /tools/list, /tools/describe, /tools/call, /resources/list, /resources/read, plus /healthz and /metrics.
  • Tools are implemented as modules under tools/ and registered via side effects into the in-memory registry in tools/registry.py.
  • Tool registration is forced by explicit imports in server/mcp/tools.py (do not rely on import order).
  • There is also a JSON-RPC 2.0 STDIO adapter in server/stdio_adapter.py (legacy entrypoint scripts/os_mcp.py re-exports it).

Run / test

  • Install: pip install -e .[test]
  • Run HTTP server: uvicorn server.main:app --reload (or python run.py)
  • Run tests: pytest -q (coverage gate configured in pytest.ini)

Project conventions to follow

  • Error envelope: return { "isError": true, "code": str, "message": str, "correlationId"?: str } for errors.
    • Correlation IDs are created/propagated by middleware in server/main.py via x-correlation-id.
    • Unhandled exceptions are normalized by the global exception handler in server/main.py (traceback only when DEBUG_ERRORS=true).
  • Pagination: when paging, use nextPageToken (camel case) like server/mcp/tools.py and server/mcp/resources.py.
  • Logging/secrets: use server/security.py helpers (redact, mask_in_text) and avoid leaking OS_API_KEY.
  • Rate limiting: enforced by middleware in server/main.py unless bypassed.
    • Defaults in server/config.py: RATE_LIMIT_PER_MIN=120 and RATE_LIMIT_BYPASS=True (tests/dev usually bypass; set RATE_LIMIT_BYPASS=false to exercise 429 path).
    • Limit keying: per client IP and top-level path segment; over-limit returns 429 with {code:"RATE_LIMITED"}.
  • Metrics: GET /metrics is enabled by default (METRICS_ENABLED=True in server/config.py).

Adding or changing a tool

  • Implement in a tools/*.py module and register a tools.registry.Tool:
    • Handler signature is handler(payload: dict[str, Any]) -> tuple[int, dict[str, Any]] (see tools/registry.py).
    • Follow existing error codes and upstream normalization patterns in tools/os_common.py and tools/os_places.py.
  • No OS key behavior: OS-backed tools must gracefully return 501 with {code:"NO_API_KEY"} when OS_API_KEY is unset (see tools/os_common.py).
  • Update the explicit import list in server/mcp/tools.py to guarantee registration.
  • Note: /tools/call passes the whole request JSON to the handler (including the tool field). Validate and extract only what you need.

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.
