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.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, or reviewing this server’s Jira integration, branch and pull-request workflows, project flows, or configurable rules.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project context needed to modify the server without guessing how its issue, Git, flow, and rule features are organized.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

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 yesterday.

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

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.
