pipedrive-mcp-server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

pipedrive-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ckalima/pipedrive-mcp-server. It costs 1,497 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a Pipedrive CRM connector. A CRM is software for managing customers, contacts, deals, and sales activity; this connector exposes Pipedrive through MCP, a standard interface for agent tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or operating the connector, especially for configuring API access, choosing read-only or write modes, handling temporary failures, and running its build and tests.
Why use it?
They document authentication, API version handling, retries, safety modes, and tests so changes do not cause unsafe or unreliable CRM actions.

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

pipedrive-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 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.

Pipedrive MCP Server

MCP server providing Pipedrive CRM tools over STDIO transport. TypeScript, Node.js.

Commands

npm run build          # TypeScript compile (tsc)
npm test               # Run all tests (vitest)
npm run dev            # Dev mode with tsx
npm start              # Run compiled server
npm run test:coverage  # Coverage report

Architecture

src/
  index.ts          # MCP server entry point (STDIO transport)
  client.ts         # Singleton PipedriveClient (lazy init, API calls); drives the resilience retry/breaker loop below fetch
  resilience.ts     # Retry classifier, full-jitter backoff, Retry-After parsing, per-process circuit breaker (sits below the client chokepoint)
  version-routing.ts # v1-only capability seam: routes the four v1 capabilities + lazy sunset/retirement detection (sits above the client)
  capability-modes.ts # Resolves PIPEDRIVE_MODE → read-only/safe-write/full; pure tool-reachability classification + tools/list filtering (no new per-tool metadata)
  config.ts         # Environment validation (PIPEDRIVE_API_KEY, PIPEDRIVE_MODE, PIPEDRIVE_ENABLE_DESTRUCTIVE); shared API-key format predicate + base URLs
  identity.ts       # Connected-account identity: one bounded GET /users/me (v1) per process at boot, bypassing the version-routing seam; startup banner lines + the one-shot `connection` notice appended to the first tool response
  cli/              # `npx … init` guided installer (subcommand routed from index.ts; not the STDIO server path)
    init.ts         # Interactive flow orchestration + flag parsing; injectable IO seams (readline/opener/validator/writer)
    config-targets.ts # Host descriptor table + renderer (per-OS path, top-level key, committed→indirection secret mechanism)
    verify-key.ts   # Pasted-key validation via createValidationClient → GET /users/me (v1), bypassing the version-routing seam
    write-config.ts # Non-destructive config writer (read-merge-backup-atomic write, 0600, symlink/TOCTOU-safe) + `claude mcp add` builder
    open-url.ts     # Best-effort detached browser opener (env scrubbed of PIPEDRIVE_API_KEY)
  tools/            # MCP tool handlers (one file per entity)
    index.ts        # Tool registration, allTools array, getToolHandler/getToolSchema/getTool
  schemas/          # Zod input validation (one file per entity, common.ts for shared)
  utils/
    errors.ts       # Error types, getErrorResponse, destructiveOperationGuard

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.
