What is zola-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for zola-mcp, a program that connects a coding agent to Zola’s wedding-planning service through its mobile interface.

Use them when developing, testing, or changing features for wedding vendors, budgets, guests, seating, events, registries, inquiries, wedding websites, or storefront discovery.

They give the agent the commands, project structure, build and test steps, and rules for resolving authentication, so work on the codebase follows its intended setup.

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	$0.03828	$0.03828
Opus 5	$0.01914	$0.01914
Sonnet 5	$0.00766	$0.00766
Haiku 4.5	$0.00383	$0.00383

Security

Grade A, and why

zola-mcp 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 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.

zola-mcp

MCP server for Zola wedding planning — vendors, budget, guests, seating, events, registry, registry items, inquiries, wedding website (content + theme), and storefront discovery. Talks to Zola's mobile API (mobile-api.zola.com) over Bearer JWT. Stdio transport.

Commands

npm run build        # tsc + esbuild bundle → dist/index.js + dist/bundle.js
npm test             # vitest run
npm run test:watch   # vitest in watch mode
npm run dev          # node --env-file=.env dist/index.js (build first)

Architecture

src/
  index.ts                MCP server entry — registers all tool modules, starts stdio transport
  client.ts               ZolaClient — Bearer JWT auth, session refresh, context resolution
  auth.ts                 resolveRefreshToken() — env var / disk cache / fetchproxy fallback
  token-cache.ts          On-disk cache for the bootstrapped ~1-year refresh token
  types.ts                Shared types
  tools/
    vendors.ts            list/search/add/update/remove booked vendors
    budget.ts             get budget, update budget items
    guests.ts             list/add/update/remove guest groups, update address
    seating.ts            seating charts, seat assignment, unseated guests
    inquiries.ts          vendor inquiry conversations, mark read
    events.ts             events, RSVPs, update event, gift tracker, registry summary
    event-invitations.ts  set/invite/remove which guests are invited to which events
    discover.ts           wedding dashboard, storefront search/details, favorites
    registry-items.ts     registry item CRUD
    invitations.ts        invitation/save-the-date "card" projects, suites, catalog, QR, RSVP page
    website.ts            wedding website settings
    website-content.ts    wedding website page content
    website-theme.ts      wedding website theme

All API calls go through client.requestMobile(), which hits mobile-api.zola.com with Bearer JWT auth and a per-process x-zola-session-id header (CloudFront WAF requirement). No web API, no CSRF.

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.
