What is devflow-mcp CLAUDE.md?

A project instruction file for a local MCP server that connects Jira with GitHub or GitLab. It describes the server’s TypeScript codebase, structure, tools, and development patterns.

Use it when developing, testing, or reviewing this server’s Jira integration, branch and pull-request workflows, project flows, or configurable rules.

It gives coding agents the project context needed to modify the server without guessing how its issue, Git, flow, and rule features are organized.

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	$0.01018	$0.01018
Opus 5.5	$0.00407	$0.00407
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00204	$0.00204

Security

Grade A, and why

devflow-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 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.

Project Overview

MCP server that connects Jira (Cloud + Server) with GitHub/GitLab to automate dev workflows. Branch creation, issue transitions, PR/MR generation, custom flow playbooks, and configurable rules. 32 tools.

Stack

TypeScript 5.x (strict mode, ESM)
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.27.x (unified package)
Zod 3.25+ for schema validation
yaml 2.7+ for YAML parsing
Vitest for testing
tsup for building (ESM output with shebang, __PKG_VERSION__ define)

Key Patterns

Factory function: createServer(storageDir?) for testability
SDK imports: Deep paths — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js
Tool API: .tool(name, description, schema, handler) with raw Zod shapes (NOT z.object)
Error handling: Return { isError: true }, never throw from tool handlers
Logging: ONLY console.error() — stdout is reserved for JSON-RPC
Storage: JSON files in ~/.devflow-mcp/, configurable via env
Confirm pattern: Destructive tools (df_transition, df_branch, df_push, df_merge) require confirm: true
Git provider factory: Auto-detects GitHub vs GitLab from remote URL
Instructions field: Server provides behavioral guidance to AI clients

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.
